Research on the Project-Based Teaching Model for Engineering Majors in Colleges and Universities

Abstract

Based on the study of the Mechanical Design and Automation major and its relevance to teaching reform in higher education engineering programs, a project-based teaching model was introduced. This approach integrates teaching design, scheme argumentation, and the implementation of teaching activities with the project serving as the central framework. Course knowledge points are derived from the project topics, forming the foundation for a structured knowledge framework. The course content is modularized in alignment with the project design, enabling students to engage with professional courses on a module-by-module basis, guided by the project. Each course utilizes the project topic as a practical case, facilitating project-led teaching. A teaching system tailored to the research project is proposed, establishing a professional course structure closely linked to the project objectives.
