Exploration and practice for engineering innovative talents training based on project-driven

Abstract

As one of the "excellent engineer education program" of the Ministry of Education and one of the characteristic majors of Jiangsu Province, the major of optoelectronic information science and engineering in Soochow University has a long history and distinctive features. In recent years, aiming to the talents training objective of "broad foundation, practiceoriented, to be creative", education and teaching reforms have been carried out, which emphasize basis of theoretical teaching, carrier of practical training, promotion of projects and discussion, and development of second class. By optimizing the teaching contents and course system of the theoretical courses, the engineering innovative talents training mode based on the project-driven has been implemented with playing a practical training carrier role and overall managing the second class teaching for cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability. Meanwhile, the evaluation mechanism of the students' comprehensive performance mainly based on "scores of theory test" is being gradually changed, and the activities such as scientific research, discipline competitions and social practices are playing an increasing important role in the students' comprehensive assessment. The produced achievements show that the proposed training model based on project-driven could stimulate the students' enthusiasm and initiative to participate in research activities and promote the training of students' ability of engineering practice and consciousness of innovation.

Design and Application of Micro Course in Fundamentals of Computers

“…In addition, employing units require students to be able to apply commonly used office software skillfully when they are on duty. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate qualified citizens who have a certain quality of computing thinking and are familiar with the information society of computer application [7,8].…”

Research on Project-driven Immersive Practical Teaching Style

“…A. Project-driven Teaching Project-driven teaching is a teaching method based on constructivism, which designs the learning content into multiple research-based learning projects and innovative experimental projects, highlights the student-centered teaching concept, stimulates students' interests in learning, encourages students independently to explore in the process of completing projects, develops students' ability to independently explore, analyze and solve problems and to transforms theoretical knowledge into practical abilities and cooperative ability [1][2][3]. Project-driven teaching puts the cultivation of high quality applied talents into practice teaching, which can effectively stimulate students' interest in learning and improve their innovative and practical abilities [4].…”
