ABSTRACT

Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation (Sino-German Joint Program) imposes higher requirements on students' engineering practical ability, professional norms, craftsmanship spirit and international literacy. As a core part of practical teaching, production practice has long been plagued by problems such as disconnection between content and enterprise positions, low practical standards, loose process management, and insufficient school-enterprise collaborative education. Relying on the advantages of Sino-German cooperative education, this paper systematically integrates German enterprise elements, including German technical standards, dual-system training mode, lean production concept, 5S site management, craftsmanship spirit and quality control system, into the construction of internship bases. On this basis, it reconstructs internship objectives, optimizes curriculum content, innovates teaching organization modes and improves diversified evaluation systems. Practice shows that the construction of German enterprise-oriented internship bases has greatly promoted the reform of production practice courses, effectively improved students' engineering practical ability, post adaptability and professional literacy, and enhanced the consistency between talent training and the needs of German-funded enterprises and high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises. It has demonstration and popularization value for the practical teaching reform of engineering majors under Sino-German cooperation.
