Mechanic education is an education aimed at enabling students to understand the general scientific principles of modern production, master the skills of common simple labor tools and mechanical equipment, and master the knowledge of modern technology and process principles, production organization and management, so as to help students achieve comprehensive and harmonious development.

It is not a specific subject, but a complete system, and its basis is to study various forms of technology according to the development of technology and all its intermediaries.

Science and technology education is different from vocational education, because its focus is to enable students to acquire general labor skills, and at the same time understand the labor process and production principles from the social significance of technology, labor organization and labor process, cultivate and develop the ability to integrate theory with practice, and understand the relationship between certain phenomena. On the other hand, vocational education enables students to acquire some labor skills to meet the needs of certain occupations.

In schools that implement technical education, it is necessary to link labor teaching with other courses so that students can "understand the whole production department"; Vocational education only allows students to "acquire some productive labor skills".

The role of science and technology education

Improve students' practical ability and comprehensive quality: mechanic education pays attention to the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical operation, so that students can gradually master skills in practice. This model is not only conducive to the improvement of students' skills, but also conducive to cultivating students' comprehensive ability needed for future career development.

Help students understand the general scientific principles of modern production: mechanic education enables students to understand the general scientific principles of modern production, master the skills of common simple labor tools and mechanical equipment, and gain knowledge of modern technology and process principles, production organization and management.

Cultivating students' sense of social responsibility and professional ethics: mechanic education pays attention to cultivating students' sense of social responsibility and professional ethics, so that they can understand the social significance of labor process and production principles, so as to better meet the needs of social development.
