Abstract:With the integration of traditional construction fields with information technology, the concept of intelligent construction came into being. Intelligent construction has also become the direction of opening a major in colleges and universities, but the establishment of intelligent construction programme is still in the initial stage. The school-running philosophy, curriculum system, and talent training of intelligent construction have not yet reached a consensus, and the teaching plan is urgently needed. Based on the results of a questionnaire survey for 30 college teachers in civil engineering and related majors, this paper clarifies the five challenges faced by the intelligent construction programme, and combining with the new requirements for the construction of emerging engineering disciplines, proposes a new teaching scheme model of intelligent construction programme from perspectives of curriculum system, teacher strength, teaching method, teaching platform, and management system. Also, the authors construct a "P-S-R (Pressure-Stress-Response)" framework system of intelligent construction programme and plan the path of intelligent construction programme and the development focus of each period. It is expected to provide reference for the establishment of intelligent construction majors in colleges and universities.

Abstract:Application-oriented talents are one of the major talent gaps currently. However, the traditional teaching methods cannot meet the needs of cultivating applied technical talents. Classroom teaching reform is an important link in improving applied talent-cultivation system. In this paper, characteristics of applied undergraduate teaching and problems of classroom teaching are analyzed first, and following the criteria of golden course, the research and practice on blended learning based on SPOC for engineering courses in application-oriented universities is carried out with the soil mechanics course as an example from the aspects of teaching design, classroom assessment, student achievement and teaching reflection. The practice shows that without the increase of class hours after blended learning, study initiatives are improved and good effects have been got. It provides reference for engineering curriculum construction and teaching practice in application-oriented universities and better practices the teaching concept of "student-centered, outcome-based and ability-oriented".

Abstract:Due to architecture courses' characteristics of combination of sensibility and rationality, connection of art and technology, it is difficult to measure the conception, deepening process and design results of architectural courses. This also makes design course teaching generally have no rules to follow and cannot be followed, and it is difficult to use standard methods and step-by-step procedures to explain and impart the courses. The teaching effect fluctuates greatly. Taking the curriculum design results of third grade of architecture as an example, by analyzing the spatial operation method, the students are guided to master the learning method of adapting to task goals and restricting elements and construct a self-contained and logically mature design vocabulary, and students' professional accomplishment is cultivated from the shallow to the deep and from the simple to the complex.

Abstract:Axial compression test is carried out based on 114 bamboo skin box-section columns, and the overall stability performance of equilateral box-section columns made of bamboo skins with 0.35mm and 0.5mm thickness specifications under different width-to-thickness ratios is studied. Based on the test results, the instability failure form and the overall stability coefficient of the bamboo skin box-section column are analyzed. The test results show that when the box-section member is loaded, there are both local instability and overall bending instability. Among the members with a slenderness ratio less than the critical slenderness ratio, local instability is the main component under compression, and overall instability is dominant in the members with a slenderness ratio greater than critical slenderness ratio. By analyzing and fitting the test data, the critical slenderness ratios of the box sections with three width and thickness ratios of two types of bamboo skins are calculated, and the design method of the column curve and bearing capacity of the box members with axial compression of bamboo skins is proposed, which provides scientific theoretical basis and calculation formula for the section design of members in the structural design competition.

Abstract:Due to the particularity and complexity of English phonetic learning, English phonetic researches have received less attention compared with other language skills. The emergence of computer-assisted language learning makes speech visualization possible. However, relevant studies have shown that although visual feedback has a positive impact on speech learning, most studies only focus on the super-segmental features of speech sound, while other parts of the speech systems are not involved. Based on the use of Praat, a speech visual analysis software, this study uses visual feedback paradigm (VFP) in speech teaching, and takes the speech intensity ratio as the test standard to study and analyze the situation of learners' speech learning, and makes the following conclusions:first, using VFP in speech teaching could achieve better results than traditional auditory training, and the speech improvement achieved has continuous effect; second, the impact of VFP at the word level could be extended to similar utterance or sentence level, and the promotion is also persistent; third, students make positive comments towards VFP. They believe that visual feedback provides obvious image differences and can reflect the relative length and intensity of individual phonemes, thus providing guidance for their pronunciation. This study demonstrates the effectiveness and generalization of VFP for English pronunciation learning, as well as the potential practical value of using VFP in second language speech classes.

Abstract:Based on international engineering education certification standards, carrying out engineering specialty construction and reform, strengthening curriculum-based ideological and political education, and promoting the construction of first-class disciplines are one of the main tasks of colleges and universities. Based on the analysis of 12 graduation requirements of engineering education certification standard and the connotation of curriculum-based ideological and political education, it is found that curriculum-based ideological and political education can cover all the non-technical index requirements of engineering certification. It is proposed that curriculum-based ideological and political education needs top-level design. Taking civil engineering major of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as an example, the overall top-level design is proposed from the perspective of professional talent training system. Combining the ideological and political objectives with the graduation requirements of certification standard in a planned way, the ideological and political objectives are implemented through the curriculum, so as to achieve the overall quality requirements of engineering talents training.

Abstract:Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the state has put forward new requirements for ideological and political education in colleges and universities. Based on the construction requirements of ideological and political education in universities, taking the course of seismic design of building structure in College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University as an example, by analyzing the meaning and target of ideological and political education, combining with the three core ideas of student centering, outcome based education, and continuous quality improvement in engineering education accreditation, moral education elements in civil engineering has been excavated. Based on the characteristics of the course of seismic design of building structure, this paper explores the teaching reformation path. Starting from the three levels of teaching objective, teaching content, teaching form and mechanism, this paper puts forward suggestions for the teaching reformation of curriculum-based ideological and political education:firstly, it should straighten out values from the fundamental level of teaching objective, and make clear who to train, how to train and for whom to train; secondly, ideological and political elements should reflect the specific content of the course and be skillfully integrated into the teaching spontaneously and silently; finally, student-centered teaching forms and mechanisms should be reformed to improve students' self-perceived ideological and political abilities.
