This paper carries out the cultivation practice of students’ innovation ability under the concept of emerging engineering education combining with the long-span structure course. In the course teaching, we should emphasize the explanation and analysis of practical engineering cases, enhance students’ interest in learning engineering structure, and improve students’ ability to solve complex engineering problems; we should use online teaching resources to carry out research, optimize the course content, evaluate and guide students’ mastery of course knowledge points, and combine online teaching resources further broaden the knowledge of students; and project-based learning and science and education integration teaching are carried out, and project-based learning is used to provide students with structural design ability; science and education integration teaching is used to guide students to find, analyze and solve problems independently, and cultivate students’ innovation ability and scientific research ability. Through the reform of the above teaching methods, we can improve the teaching effect of the long-span structure course and promote the cultivation of students’ innovation ability.

Abstract:As a new practical lesson laying stress on professional practice ability, the course of creation and realization of structural models mainly adopts a variety of teaching modes, e.g., lecture, discussion, experiment and computer application. The traditional assessment method is heavily weighted in favor of the investigation of theoretical knowledge, which is difficult to reflect the students’ mastery of the curriculum, especially the cultivation of practical ability. Nevertheless, the non-standard answer assessment method can break away from the traditional fixed thinking. It plays a significant role in arousing the students’ subjective initiative, which is helpful to cultivate students’ comprehensive ability to solve complex engineering issues. Therefore, the non-standard answer assessment method is used to comprehensively evaluate the learning quality of students, and train students’ practical operation ability and innovative thinking. Firstly, the learning objectives of this course and the support for graduation requirements are systematically introduced, and the feasibility of non-standard answer assessment method in this course is demonstrated. Secondly, the main factors that affect the course assessment are discussed and analyzed, and we formulate idiographic implementation plans and safeguard measures. Finally, a questionnaire was designed to evaluate the effect of the implementation of the scheme, and hundreds of students selected courses in recent years were investigated and counted. The evaluation results of curriculum provision, curriculum management, curriculum resources and teachers’ teaching ability were systematically analyzed. The results show that the non-standard answer assessment method can improve students’ enthusiasm for learning, scientifically and comprehensively evaluate students’ mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical ability, and cultivate students’ teamwork and innovation ability. This paper can provide an important reference for the construction and evaluation of other practical courses.

Abstract:In today’s world where international academic communication and cooperation become frequent, publishing original research has become an embodiment of a university’s capacity, or even a nation’s capacity for scientific research and an embodiment of a country’s international influence. It is also an important parameter for assessing the academic performance of postgraduates. Enhancing students’ academic writing ability in English is essential not only in promoting international academic communication, but also in increasing the chance of making Chinese scholars heard in the international academic arena. English academic writing courses for postgraduates should be based on students’ needs, combining language study with students’ needs for academic research in their subject areas, thus enhancing their motivation and interest. Through pedagogical examples of teaching academic writing to postgraduate students majoring in architecture science, this paper discusses task design principles of English academic writing projects from the aspects of “purposefulness”, “specialism”, “critical thinking”, and “collaboration”. Among the four principles, “purposefulness” focuses on the three principal elements of academic writing ability, namely academic language, academic skills, and academic conventions. “Specialism” refers to the combination of the common core knowledge in language and the special linguistic characteristics of subject-specific discourse. This means teachers should deliberately guide and encourage students to integrate subject-specific knowledge into language learning consciously, transferring the common knowledge taught by teachers to the process of reading and writing subject-specific academic papers. “Critical thinking” concerns the ability to think critically in the process of English academic writing, such as the ability to analyze, infer, appraise, explain and interpret. “Collaboration” emphasizes learners’ ability to create a harmonious learning atmosphere through negotiation, communication and cooperation, so as to overcome the fear of difficulties and enhance self-confidence in order to improve the quality of language output. The principles mentioned above can not only have referential value for project-based English academic writing courses for postgraduates, thus enhancing students’ academic writing ability and realizing the goal of putting what they have learned into practice in the real world, but also bring some enlightenment of the undergraduate pre-course development of English academic writing.

Abstract:Under the background of the construction of emerging engineering education and double first-class universities, the international English courses construction is an inevitable demand for universities to speed up the way of internationalization, and is also a key challenge for teaching reform for postgraduate courses. While how to explore a suitable way for teaching mode, teaching methods and teaching team, etc., to meet the top talent training objective for China’s postgraduates is still an urgent problem. Taking a typical international course of environmental quality and wellbeing in Chongqing University as an example, this study addressed the integrated construction of “education” and “research” of the course, and elaborated in details the characteristics and experience of course contents, teaching method, evaluation method and teaching team construction. The course pays attention to the overall design and constructs a multi-level curriculum content system from foundation to promotion and expansion; meantime it links the teaching to research and practice and introduces the latest professional journal papers or reports as teaching materials to expand the teaching breadth and depth. The course addresses the interaction between “teaching” and “learning” with systematic thinking and problem-based learning, and sets up multiple modes, including communication and interaction, discussion, case study, special report, paper review and so on, to reform the traditional teaching method. The course adopts the interdisciplinary research and hotspots as discussion topics, which cultivates the postgraduates’ abilities of critical thinking, scientific research and innovation. The course assessments include discussion, presentation and writing, ect., in order to improve the abilities of professional knowledge and academic communication for students. In order to expand the internationalization of curriculum, constructs a high-quality teaching team and introduces a number of teachers and experts with outstanding academic achievements from multidiscipline to build an international joint teaching team. Through the interdisciplinary teaching, promotes the interdisciplinary integration and broadens the students’ knowledge in the field of built environment, which overcomes the narrow vision of traditional curriculum teaching, the limitation of culturing versatile talents, cross-cultural communication, adaptability and development ability, the lack of high-quality education resources and international teaching teams, etc. It provides a reference for the construction of all English course for the built environment major in domestic colleges and universities. Meanwhile,it also provides experience and guide thinking for promoting the internationalization of postgraduate education,cultivating high-level talents with international vision and innovative vitality,and promoting the development of disciplines.

Abstract:Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our country pays more and more attention to the strategy of building a strong traffic country, and the pace of innovation and development has accelerated. From the completion of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the commencement of the whole line of Sichuan-Tibet Railway, the construction of bridges in China is facing various and unprecedented great challenges. From the completion of Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge with a main span of 1 700 m to the commencement of Zhangjinggao Yangtze River Bridge with a main span of 2 300 m, the scale of long-span bridges in China is constantly breaking new records. In order to suit the requirement of important engineering, a composite training mode based on postgraduates is established to improve their abilities of the innovation and practical application, analyzing and solving problems, enhancing the quality and the efficiency simultaneously. Important parts are determined by the team leader, and specific research work is guided by the young teachers, fulfilling the directive role of the tutor team. Furthermore, the training mode based on “surface to line to point” focusing on the research method, comprehensive ability, and application innovation, is established, and the training program is specified gradually and adjusted dynamically. The practice shows that the composite training mode based on postgraduates improve their senses of participation and gain. Combined with the dynamic training mode based on “surface to line to point”, it is favorable to formulate research programs for different postgraduates, which can better inspire their subjective initiative and increase the achievements with higher quality. The postgraduate should first complete the task-type scientific research work, and then complete the dissertation autonomously. With the process, the personal comprehensive ability can be effectively improved, which is more suitable for the requirement of innovation in important engineering.

Abstract:Taking cultivate virtues and morality as the core task, combined with the running process of civil engineering major of Central South University and the characteristics of transportation civil engineering, the ideological and political education spirit of civil engineering specialty is refined, and the construction of the ideological and political education system with civil engineering specialty characteristics is promoted from three perspectives: professional ideological and political education, platform ideological and political education and cultural ideological and political education. Professional ideological and political education is to expand the connotation of cultivate virtues and morality and reconstruct the professional teaching system through the content of curriculum ideological and political education, innovative teaching methods, the integration of university-enterprise science and education and professional collaboration. It focuses on building the library of ideological and political elements of civil engineering courses from eight aspects: strategic engineering, super engineering, artisans from big countries, industry elites, industry development, outstanding alumni, engineering cases and discipline frontiers, so as to promote the systematic and standardized construction of ideological and political elements of civil engineering courses. Platform ideological and political education consists of six educational platforms, namely, ideological and political education center, teaching classroom, scientific research platform, practice base, network space and student organization, to create a base of cultivate virtues and morality with the integration of virtual and reality, and to make the professional ideological and political teaching entity practical and strong. Cultural ideology and politics is based on the columns of Teacher Talk, Confucius Said, Famous Teacher Lecture Hall and Alumni Interview to construct the college culture in six dimensions: fine traditions, teachers’ fashion, alumni footprints, famous talents style, students’ fashion and campus activities, so as to create a cultural environment of cultivate virtues and morality. Since the full implementation of ideological and political education system in civil engineering specialty, Party Committee plays the main role in ideological and political education reform, creates new swimmer and contribution for the Party mass work, obviously improves the teachers’ initiative to carry out the curriculum reform, curriculum construction, teaching platform construction, and ideological and political education is fruitful.

Abstract:Under the background of the construction of emerging engineering education, how to highlighting the educating orientation of higher education, merging the implicit ideological and political education with the professional course teaching of engineering students organically, and realizing the integration and resonance of theoretical knowledge education and social values education, are the main issues facing in the course teaching reform of higher education in recent years.
