Abstract-In recent years, colleges and universities pay more and more attention to the improving and strengthening of the quality of education and teaching. The concept of "teaching and quality is the life of a university" has been put forward as the core idea of running a school. The priority has been given to the promotion of the teaching reform and the betterment of teaching quality in the reform and development of colleges and universities. While the construction of academic teams should be strengthened, more attention should also be paid to the exploration and practice of the construction of teaching teams. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the teaching of the School of Mechanical and Power Engineering of Chongqing University of Science and Technology and puts forward a plan for the construction of teaching teams and illustrates the pivotal function of teaching teams in the construction of quality engineering.Keywords-teaching team; quality engineering; management and operation component;
I. PREFACEIn the past few years, based on the research of the demand of the talent market and undergraduate programs, School of Mechanical and Power Engineering set the reform of curriculum system and teaching content as the core of the curriculum construction. Focusing on the teaching team, the logic structures of curriculums for undergraduates has been strengthened through the constructions of group courses, exquisite courses, key courses, web-based courses, textbook and the evaluation of training program, curriculum. The curriculum systems have been optimized and the teaching content has been renewed. The curriculum systems with the characteristics of applied undergraduate have been formed. However, the teaching team has the following problems in operation: (1)Teaching and research activities fail to reach its full swing and play its due role. At present, one third of the research activities involve passing on the documents or making announcements, while another one third go as a mere formality without any substance. As the basic teaching unit, the department established according to the discipline and curriculum is expected to carry out teaching academic research at grass-roots level and undertake the responsibility of teaching activities and teaching research duties as well. Nevertheless, its function has not been tapped into fully and effectively in the course of the actual operation and its development lags behind the pressing demands of the teaching reform. (2)The application and completion of Education Reform Projects is mainly conducted on an individual basis, which lacks the necessary discussion, research and collective implementation of the projects within a team which has the same teaching background. Therefore, the project results may not be comprehensive and practical enough. The collective experience and wisdoms of teachers are paramount in the reform of teaching, while the lack of sense of collaboration and academic exchange among the teachers serves right as a hurdle making it difficult to prom...
