ABSTRACT

With the rapid socio-economic development and the rapid changes in science and technology, higher education is facing unprecedented challenges and demands. Under such a background, the reform of higher education curriculum has become an inevitable trend. As a new education model, the integration of industry, education and research has begun to be integrated into the field of higher education in recent years. Firstly, the thesis introduces the concept and importance of the integration of industry, education and research; then the thesis analyzes the difficulties of the higher education curriculum reform based on the integration of industry, education and research; mechanical engineering, as an engineering discipline, has certain characteristics and challenges in its curriculum reform. Finally, taking mechanical engineering as an example, the paper explores the reform path of higher education courses and teaching methods based on the integration of industry, education and research, including industry-academia cooperation, practical teaching and cultivation of innovation ability, and propose some feasible promotion measures and countermeasures, aiming to provide guidance for other disciplines. Provide reference and reference for the reform of higher education curriculum and teaching methods.
