Abstract:Professional courses are the main support of ideological and political construction of courses. It is of great significance to integrate ideological and political education into professional courses. Taking the course of principles of steel structure as an example, this paper discusses the practical path of collaborative education of ideological and political courses and professional courses. People educating requires finding the direction and focusing on the key points. In this paper, taking teaching objectives as the main line, with professional knowledge as the background, five breakthrough points are found. Through the breakthrough points, the teaching objectives and ideological and political objectives are organically combined, the ideological and political elements contained in professional courses are deeply explored, and a complete value evaluation system is constructed. Paying close attention to the "main force" of teachers, the "main battlefield" of curriculum construction, and the "main channel" of classroom teaching, a complete new educational path through three teaching methods, three teaching steps, and one evaluation system is formed. Strengthening students' professional knowledge, enhancing students' "four self-confidences", and enhancing students' feelings of home and country, the teaching effect of teaching and educating people together and joint construction of major and ideological and political education has truly achieved. This study can provide reference for similar majors to carry out curriculum ideological and political education.

Abstract:This study analyzed the influence of the design of integrated curriculum of civil engineering majors and the change of completion semester of subjects on the quality of students' knowledge system and graduation projects according to the concept of CDIO engineering education based on conceiving, designing, implementing and operating. Through this the integrated curriculum plan of architectural courses was reviewed to improve the quality of graduation project and students' practical abilities. This study was conducted on graduates from 2017-2020 of the university to which the author belongs. This research figures out that the integrated curriculum plan of architectural courses can effectively improve students' comprehensive mastery of architectural knowledge. Furthermore, although the teaching team has a clear understanding of the coherence among architectural courses from the perspective of "teaching", the students still do not have a clear understanding of the coherence among the courses from the perspective of "receiving". They stayed in mastering the contents of each course and failed to meet the "integrated learning experiences" required by CDIO.

Abstract:Under the background of national "golden course" construction, research-oriented teaching not only emphasizes the unity of "teaching" and "learning", but also attaches importance to the integration of "teaching" and "research", which has become the focus of teaching reform in higher education at present. Incorporating research-oriented teaching into mechanics courses can better stimulate students' learning enthusiasm and innovative spirit, deepen their understanding and mastery of knowledge, and pay more attention to the engineering application of mechanics knowledge. Elasticity is one of the most difficult courses for engineering undergraduates. Its essence is to solve the boundary value problem of partial differential equations under given boundary conditions. However, the difficulty of solving elastic mechanics is that it is greatly difficult to satisfy the boundary conditions. Therefore, in the teaching practice of elastic mechanics, taking Saint Venant's principle and its application as an example, the design and practice of research-oriented teaching case are implemented. Through the in-depth elaboration and extension of the basic concepts, basic problems and basic methods in the basic teaching contents, combined with typical engineering examples, how to effectively understand and flexibly apply Saint Venant's principle in different local boundaries is discussed in this study. The effect of teaching practice shows that carrying out research-oriented teaching in mechanics courses can enable students to more deeply understand the essence of mechanics and the flexibility of its application, and then feel the beauty of mechanics.

Abstract:Civil engineering structure experiment is a very important professional course, which is divided into steel structure experiment and concrete structure experiment according to materials. In view of the problems in the current steel structure experimental teaching such as focusing on theory neglecting practice, lack of experimental content, inability to strengthen the theoretical teaching effect, and few practical links for students, teaching reforms are explored in terms of teaching methods and teaching content. In terms of teaching methods, student autonomy experiments is emphasized, and teacher-student interaction is increased by the use of social information platforms. In terms of teaching content, it is proposed to change the steel beam bending test from a demonstrative test to a destructive test designed by students to enhance the theoretical teaching effect, e.g., improving the understanding of partial plate buckling and overall instability of the beam. In addition, the practice of assembling the steel components into the overall steel structure in the test is also proposed. The purpose of the teaching reform is to improve the quality of steel structure test teaching and then improve the teaching effect of steel structure theory and curriculum design practice. The paper also provides a reference for strengthening students' practical ability, engineering ability, and innovation ability training.

Abstract:Group reading can change the utilitarian situations that students only care scores in traditional reading teaching. It is good to create harmonious atmosphere and get students used to the era of rapid increase of information. Introducing the teaching conception of group reading to traditional courses on ideological and political dimension satisfies class teaching requirements and current needs. Specific methods of group reading teaching, introducing through red classics, are topic-designed, problem-orientated, texts-practice merged, students-orientated and classic representing. It can make favorable class atmosphere and enhance massive participation. Students could understand the red spirit by osmosis and inherit the red gene. Introducing group reading means two-way integration and taking merits from each other rather than giving up traditional teaching conception.

Abstract:The development of undergraduate ideological and political theory courses in the new era has already entered the new stage of emphasizing connotative development from extension growth. In view of this, it is imperative to establish a scientific and reasonable overall quality evaluation of ideological and political theory courses. It should be focused on the four aspects as following. In evaluation subject, the transformation from single-subject evaluation to dual-subject interactive evaluation should be realized. In the perspective of evaluation, the change from micro evaluation to combination of macro and micro should be realized. In evaluation method, the transformation from explicit evaluation to unification of explicit and implicit should be realized. In evaluation dimension, it is important to change from static evaluation to static and dynamic integration.

Abstract:Labor education is an important part of fostering human all-round development. The evaluation standard of labor education practice base plays an important guiding role in the construction of labor education base. This paper uses Nvivo12 Plus to encode and classify the evaluation standards of labor education practice bases in 7 provinces and finds that the evaluation standard systems have some common advantages such as emphasizing safe operation as the focus of labor education practice base construction, complete facilities as the center of labor education practice base construction, and educating people as the core of labor education practice base construction. However, there are also some problems such as ignoring the evaluation of teaching feedback, the content is too general and not comprehensive, ignoring the evaluation of the base teachers, and the convergence of indicators in various provinces which lacks directivity. Therefore, in order to better play the leading role of the evaluation standard system, the teaching feedback of the education base should be included in the evaluation standard system, the composition of the teaching force should be clearly listed as the evaluation index, the educational content of emerging labor form should be increased, and the characteristics of various places should be highlighted in the evaluation standard, so that the evaluation standard system of the labor education practice base can better serve the needs of the development of labor education.
