According to the training characteristics of engineering students, modern engineering training related to machinery, electronics, information and its systems, such as machining training, modern manufacturing training, electrical and electronic technology training, typical mechanical and electrical product disassembly and debugging and design and manufacturing training, nonmetal material and composite material molding training, industrial safety and environmental protection training, engineering system operation training and innovation practice training, can inspire and guide students to practice seriously, actively innovate, think scientifically and develop engineering quality.
First of all, engineering training is conducive to the cultivation of students' engineering practice ability. Influenced by many factors, there are many problems in the off-campus internship of engineering students in colleges and universities, and the internship opportunities of students are reduced. Campus engineering training provides students with a good engineering background and plays an important role in cultivating students' engineering practice ability. In engineering training, college students use various tools to carry out various technical operations, understand the mechanical structure, and understand the mechanical manufacturing and assembly process. Through observation, adjustment and hands-on operation of conventional process equipment, students' engineering practice ability can be effectively improved.
Secondly, engineering training is conducive to the cultivation of students' thinking ability and innovation ability. Engineering technology is a practical applied science, which is not only manifested in the application value of engineering technology, but also in the ability of thinking in images when studying engineering courses. If students' thinking ability is not strong, the teaching effect will not be very good in engineering courses with high requirements for image thinking. In engineering training teaching, students should be exposed to all kinds of mechanical and electrical equipment, understand, be familiar with and even master the structures, functions and uses of some of them, understand the precious wealth created by predecessors' hard work, constantly compare abstract information with multidimensional stereoscopic information visually, and gradually form the ability to subtly transform abstract information into stereoscopic images, that is, image thinking ability. After students master some technologies through practice, they design and manufacture products they are interested in according to their own knowledge and hobbies, which not only enhances their self-confidence, improves their interest in learning, but also cultivates their innovative ability.
Third, engineering training is conducive to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality. In order to make students better adapt to society after graduation, it is not enough to have professional knowledge and ability, but also to have consciousness of unity and cooperation, quality, market, safety, health, economy, management, society, environmental protection and law. It is impossible to cultivate this awareness only by the teacher's explanation in class, but in the engineering training environment, students can cultivate and improve this quality through on-the-spot study and contact. In addition, engineering training is also conducive to the efficient transformation of students' knowledge into ability, so that students' knowledge can be organically supplemented and the quality of college students can be improved in an all-round way.
Second, measures to strengthen engineering training
1 improve the construction of teachers and engineering and technical personnel.
High-level teachers and engineers are the key factors to achieve teaching objectives. The teaching purpose, the design of teaching content and the activities involved in engineering training have gone far beyond the scope of simple skill training, which puts forward new requirements for teachers and engineers who guide and participate in engineering training teaching, requiring them to have strong engineering ability and high scientific and technological level. In the construction of teaching staff and engineering and technical personnel, on the one hand, we should create favorable conditions and take various effective measures to provide professional training for existing personnel, support them to improve their academic qualifications and study for degrees on the job, and improve their own quality; On the other hand, it is necessary to introduce a large number of high-level engineering and technical personnel to form an engineering training team mainly composed of teachers, engineers or technicians in engineering and technical disciplines.
2. Pay full attention to hardware construction and software construction.
The software and hardware conditions of engineering training center must meet the requirements of cultivating high-level innovative talents. The hardware equipment of engineering training center should not only have a certain number and scale of conventional equipment to meet the requirements of students' conventional technical skills training, but also have a certain number, different levels and different varieties of advanced manufacturing and processing equipment, teaching demonstration and teaching experimental equipment, which fully reflects the advanced and forward-looking nature of practical teaching infrastructure and meets the needs of engineering practice education of students of different majors, grades and levels. Hardware construction should be carried out according to the capital investment and the principle of overall planning, step-by-step construction and gradual improvement. Software construction is the key and difficult point in the construction of engineering training center. In the long-term teaching practice and teaching reform, we must persist in system innovation, keep pace with the times, constantly sum up and improve, and gradually form an engineering training model that conforms to the characteristics of running a school and the goal of talent training.
3. Adopt the open training method.
In order to make full and reasonable use of resources, improve the utilization rate of equipment and facilitate students to participate in engineering training, students can flexibly choose space and time while paying attention to training and conduct all-round open training for students. Students can make an appointment in advance and participate in engineering training according to their own time plan. The time can be normal teaching time, evening or rest day. In addition to completing the training and teaching plan issued by the school, students can also carry out other training that is conducive to improving their practical ability according to their hobbies. While time and space are open, we should also pay attention to the openness of training content, methods and means and the openness of concept consciousness, so as to improve students' initiative and enthusiasm in engineering training.
