Abstract:Engineering talent cultivation is the main body of higher education. Whether engineering talents cultivated by colleges and universities have engineering practical ability or not depends not only on teachers' systematic education but also on the degree of enterprises' involvement in students' professional education. In the teaching process, the enterprise can deeply join in cultivation plan formulation, theoretical teaching, practical teaching and cultivation of innovative ability. We discussed the current situation that there were no channels, mechanism, motivation and necessary funds for the enterprise to deeply participate in engineering talent cultivation, and proposed that universities, enterprises, and the country should jointly solve the problems, which would be a reference for the civil engineering education.

Abstract:At present, college acts as the main body of the civil engineering professional education, and the content of professional courses emphasis on theoretical knowledge. This mechanism is no longer suitable for the current employment environment and industry trends. The college should take the initiative to explore new educational mechanism to adapt to the social and economic development. We pointed out the positive significance of college-enterprise cooperation education mechanism, and discussed measures of practicing the mechanism, which included the enterprise participating in developing the training plan, the college and the enterprise establishing practice bases together, technical staff participating in course teaching, and personnel exchange between the college and the enterprise. The practice result shows that the measures are effective, which are beneficial attempts of educational mechanism innovation.

Abstract:In the traditional civil engineering practice mode, students can only participate in the short process of the construction project, and obtain a little knowledge. The teacher and students are less interaction owing to the scatter practice places, and the management of practice process is also difficult. We introduced a real time sharing platform for the civil engineering major practice of the "Zan-xue network", which was based on the internet technology. Compared with the traditional practice management, the platform can mobilize students' initiative and enthusiasm, and also help teachers to manage and guide the practice in real time. The practice quality as well as results were significantly improved. Real time sharing platform of civil engineering major practice based on big data can become a new mode of practice management.

The result shows that postgraduates' innovation consciousness and practical ability is improved.

Abstract:It is necessary to reform the experiment teaching in universities if we want to cultivate students' creative thinking, innovation ability, observation ability and team coordination ability. Through the investigation and analysis of the current situation of laboratory using in teaching of building environment and energy application engineering in regional universities, I found out that universities focused on theoretical teaching rather than experimental teaching, the number of laboratory equipment was insufficient, and the location of the teaching laboratory was not reasonable. To cultivate students' spirit of innovation and engineering practice ability, the experiment teaching system of "one-four-four" should be constructed and improved, and effective ways for experimental teaching reform should be put forward as ensuring unchanged total amount of class hours. The practice result shows that it can cultivate students' scientific and technological innovation ability, and improve their engineering practice ability and comprehensive quality.

Abstract:With the development of computers, the visualization analysis can be conducted by the virtual reality technology of hydropower project engineering data set that has spatiotemporal characteristics. To apply this technology to the hydropower station teaching, a virtual simulation of power station in river channel can be established. Through the virtual simulation of hydropower engineering and equipment such as the hydro-junction, power plant and axial flow turbine, and the virtual simulation of the installation and maintenance of hydraulic turbine, the water resources and hydropower engineering simulation experiment was realized. In the teaching mode of open experiment, students were the main body and they were required to independently compose, design, finish and verify the virtual model. The teaching effect was remarkable and the new concept of engineering education can be implemented. The guidance of theory combined with the virtual simulation improved students' understanding and enhanced their practical ability, which realized the goal of CDIO engineering education mode.
