The result shows that the synergy model is contribute to construction enterprises' competitiveness.

Abstract:The DEA safety accident management evaluation method need no prior stating of evaluation indexes weight and it can perform a quantitative analysis for input redundancy and output deficiency. We applied DEA model in the relative evaluation analysis of construction safety performance in Chongqing. The result shows that the redundancy of death number is comparatively higher than the redundancy of construction accident number. Therefore, the construction safety accident management performance of Chongqing needs to be improved. We proposed a quantitative evaluation method to measure the construction safety accident management performance and provided a new process and idea to evaluate the safety performance.

Abstract:Taking the party performance and value identity as indexes of the teaching effect of ideology and political theory course, we researched on the teaching effect of ideology and political theory course in universities and colleges by using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on our investigation in universities and colleges of Chongqing. The results show that: 1) University students hold low performance identity and middle value identity of the governing party; 2) The ideology and political theory course can influence university students from two paths which are the direct path (the theory course→value identity) and the indirect path (the theory course→performance identity→value identity). The indirect path is more important and its effect is contributed mainly by the mediation variable performance identity; and 3) The teaching attitude have the most important impacts on value identity compared to teaching contents and teaching styles.

Abstract:Engineering geology, with rich teaching content and strong practicality, is one of the fundamental courses for students majoring in water conservancy. It is worthy to be deeply discussed on how to effectively improve the quality of teaching in the classroom and the field geological practice. Difficulties of the course and practical problems in teaching were analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, teaching experience and reform exploration were comprehensively introduced from the point view of classroom teaching, practical teaching, bilingual teaching and course assessment, respectively. It is proposed that in classroom teaching, theory should be closely tied to the engineering practice. In practical teaching, the ability of students on how to discover, analyze and solve engineering geological problems should be emphasized. Carrying out bilingual teaching is an inevitable trend to train international talent and students' comprehensive ability should be fully disclosed in assessment system.

Based on comparative analysis of the specific features of the content and process of traditional architecture and contemporary green building design, we discussed some concrete issues in views of both concept and methodology, which are involved in the green building design courses and related to the energy and environmental topics in order to provide useful references for the development and improvement of the theory and practice of relevant architecture design education.

Abstract:Practical teaching of engineering geological is an important way to cultivate the ability of analyzing and solving the problem with engineering geological theories. The practical teaching situation of engineering geological course was investigated for non geological engineering students of three universities in Hunan province. Then four problems were present for the practical teaching of engineering geological course, including shortage of practical teaching class time, lack of outside practical teaching funds, shortage of outside practical teaching place and low ratio of teachers and students. Five teaching reform methods were suggested, which were arranging reasonable teaching time, combining teaching contents with the practice, adopting practical engineering discussion in teaching, combining experiments with engineering practice, and using practical teaching method.

Abstract:The monotonous and dull way of teaching results in unsatisfied teaching effects of steel structure principles. To improve students' perceptual knowledge about the whole loading progress of steel specimens, failure models and stress distribution, the finite element program ABAQUS was used in the teaching of steel structure principles. It can make the teaching of complicated steel principles more visualized and lifelike, such as seismic behavior, stability damage and stress concentration. The result shows that this method can effectively enhance students' interest in learning and improve the teaching quality.
