ABSTRACT

Based on the current status of 3D printing courses at Xuchang University, this paper analyzes the pain points and issues that exist in the course. By adopting a reverse thinking approach of "industry-job-major-course", typical thematic modules and experimental projects are constructed based on the knowledge, abilities, and qualities target matrix, which have "advanced" and "innovative" characteristics in student training, and provide a certain degree of challenge. By exploring the ideological and political elements of the course, a student-centered, integrated teaching model of "teaching, learning, and doing" is developed through a blended online and offline teaching approach. A course grading system is also implemented, combining "online and offline blended assessment", "formative evaluation", and "summative evaluation". After four years of practice, the teaching effect of the course has been significantly improved, effectively enhancing the students' 3D printing engineering practical and innovative entrepreneurial abilities.
