Abstract

This paper explores the teaching reforms of the Mechanical Manufacturing Equipment Design course, focusing on the current teaching situation, reform pathways, and implementation outcomes. The existing teaching model faces challenges such as insufficient student initiative in independent learning, limited depth of teacher-student interaction, and a singular assessment method. To address these issues, the course has restructured its teaching system by integrating theoretical instruction, practical training, and innovation modules. It incorporates case-based teaching and online-offline hybrid models, while strengthening the connection between engineering practice and ideological-political education. The reform emphasizes enhancing student competencies as the core objective, utilizing project-driven learning, competition involvement, and industry-academia collaboration to stimulate innovative thinking and practical abilities. This initiative provides a referential practical case for the reform of mechanical engineering courses under the framework of engineering education accreditation.
