The courseware participation teaching method was adopted in the heating ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) course. The anonymous feedbacks after the teaching reform show that the teaching method had a positive effect on the learning initiative and participation of the students. We discussed in detail the strategy and operational approach of putting the teaching reform method into effect. Then summarization was made based on students’ feedback information. We hope it would be helpful in the cultivation of high quality and innovation-oriented talents through the teaching reform.
