新工科背景下自然科学理论融合教学实践

新工科人才培养应该首先使学生掌握更为先进和扎实的自然科学理论知识。本研究以自然科学与工程科学的辩证关系为切入点,围绕本学科专业课程开展自然科学理论的教学实践。在新工科专业课程设计中,需加强工程科学专业知识与自然科学理论体系的融合联系,并做到三个“统一”。这些举措可以实现自然科学理论体系与新工科知识理论的完美构架,形成一套由自然科学理论驱动的新工科专业课程建设模式,使得我国的新工科建设更加适应未来产业变革的现实需求。     

实践共同体意义理论视野下的工程教育新论

随着时代的发展,广义工程教育和现有工程教育都存在不同程度的缺陷,高校应在实践共同体意义理论的基础上,建立工程教育考察的新维度.根据工程意义协商和回复程度,工程教育可划分为理论脱离实际、理论联系实际、实际参考理论三个层次.     

Systems Theory and Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Education: a review and critique

Soft or socio-technical systems methodology promises much for the task of engineering education, note least the way in which it promotes an inherently interdisciplinary mode of thinking. For this reason it is being advocated as a desirable framework to be fully integrated into the curriculum of any training programme. In this paper we briefly outline the development of ‘systems thinking’ and the form it has taken in the study of work and organisations. Next we consider some of the reservations which social scientists have expressed about such modes of thought. Finally we explore further the relationship between systems, interdisciplinarity and engineering education.     

加强工程教育研究,提高工程人才培养质量——在清华大学工程教育研究中心成立大会上的讲话

首先请允许我代表教育部高教司对清华大学工程教育研究中心的成立表示热切的祝贺!借此机会,谨向各位老领导致以新春的祝愿,也向多年来从事工程教育的各位专家、老师表示诚挚的问候! 清华大学作为新中国"红色工程师的摇篮",具有很好的工程教育传统,也是目前我国工科实力最强的学校之一,曾培养出大批优秀的工程师,为中国工程教育的发展作出了突出贡献.在改革开放三十周年之际,清华大学成立工程教育研究中心,对工程教育进行系统、深入的研究,探讨在新形势下创新型工程人才培养的基本规律,必将对未来我国工程教育的发展和工程教育的质量的提高起到积极的促进作用.     

理工科院校"两课"教学中的传统文化教育

加强大学生尤其是理工科大学生的人文素质教育是时代的要求.在理工科院校中,"两课"是大学生进行人文素质教育的主要途径.弘扬优秀传统文化对大学生人文素质的培养起着非常重要的作用.将传统文化融入"两课"教学中可以更好地培养大学生的人文素质.     

电气专业“现代控制理论”课程的双语教学探索

本文根据"现代控制理论"课程和电气专业学生知识结构的特点,对双语教学要求下该课程的教学问题展开探索。通过教学改革和课程实验建设,提炼了几点有效的措施,灵活的双语教学方法的采用,英文教材的选取和调整,双语教学环境下的多媒体课件和仿真实验平台的开发等。     

Reliability,Maintenance and Risk Assessment in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Education in the US

Advances in information technology provide new tools and resources to optimize total life cycle of ships in terms of reliability, safety and the control of operating costs. Regulatory agencies and classification societies are moving towards risk-based/reliability-centered rule-making in the shipping industry. However, reliability, maintenance and risk assessment were not considered to be a part of the traditional Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering curriculum in the US. In this paper, the current status of existing curricula, accreditation requirements and new developments are presented. Finally, emerging needs of the maritime industry are discussed.     

装备可靠性工程人才培养研究

可靠性工程在武器装备研制、生产与管理中具有极其重要的作用。本文从不断跟踪国外可靠性人才培养模式和前沿课程建设情况,加强课程体系与教材建设,努力营造良好的科研学术环境,积极探索和开展教学研究和教学改革等方面论述了可靠性工程人才的培养。     

探讨工程教育改革,建设工程教育强国——“新形势下工程教育的改革与发展”高层论坛综述

2007年9月上海召开的“工程教育的改革与发展”高层论坛,对我国工程教育的现状、影响因素及其改革建议进行了专题讨论,对我国如何开展工程教育改革,保障和提升工程教育的质量,最终实现工程教育强国献计献策。本文即是该论坛综述。     

Humanities in Engineering Education

The need for humanities in technical curricula can be explained in part by the impact technology has on our society. Engineers are the class of people who contribute most, and most directly to the changing face of the earth. So they should have at least an idea of the context they are working in. Humanities, on the other hand, have been on the loosing side since World War II. This calls for some reconsideration. The ever more urgent call for languages, management and law competencies for engineers is an expression for this. Humanities can and must play an important role in every well-balanced engineering curriculum.     

Crisis in Engineering Education

It is contended that engineering education in the United States is and has always been backward and of low quality compared to that in other countries, particularly Russia. Consequent low quality raises serious questions regarding ability to compete with the Communist world. Historical reasons for low quality are scrutinized as created by personality factors, financial matters, university policies, and federal policies. Significant differences between educators and practitioners in science and engineering are discussed. Specific practical proposals for action by federal and university agencies are given which can aid in reducing the serious shortage of welltrained engineers.     

中国的工程教育——成绩、问题和对策

经济转型和高教规模扩张使中国的工程教育有了很大的变化:主要成绩是规模扩大、高教普及、设施改善、学科发展、国际合作增加.而问题和不足主要体现在,科学导向,模式单一;竞相升格,层次模糊;实践缺乏,学生能力缺失;经费不足,经费配置欠妥;收费提高,困难学生增加;就业供需矛盾突出.在深入分析原因的基础上,分别从政府、学校、社会(包括企业)和国际合作四个方面提出了改进我国工程教育的的建议.     

工科专业教学中的人文教育刍议

现代工程的综合化要求现代工程师具有较好的人文素养,要求现代工程教育在科学教育的同时注重人文教育,现代工程教育是科学教育与人文教育的统一。高等学校的专业教学特别是工科专业教学存在着重视科学知识和技能教育,忽视科学品格、科学精神等人文素质培养的倾向。科学、全面的工科专业教学包括科学与人文两个方面,是科学教育与人文教育的融合。在工科专业教学中实施人文教育,教师是关键。     

中国工程教育的问题 挑战与工程教育研究——在清华大学工程教育研究中心成立大会上的讲话

清华大学成立工程教育研究中心,确实是中国高等教育界的一件大事,意义非常重大.我非常高兴接受顾校长的邀请担任工程教育研究中心主任的工作.我也非常感谢母校对我的信任,因为我觉得这件事责任重大,要做好也很不容易,尤其是在清华这样的学校来做这样的工作.我还要非常感谢高等教育和工程教育界的各位同仁,各位嘉宾的与会表示了对工程教育工作的关心.     

Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering Education in Hungary

Engineering education has more than 200 years of tradition in Hungary. Chemical engineers are trained at the Technical University of Budapest (TUB) and at the University of Veszprém. The curriculum of the TUB chemical engineering education is given. Undergraduate environmental engineering education is offered at the University of Miskolc, at the Janus Pannonius University in Pécs and at the University of Veszprém. Curricula of the latter two are given. The TUB has several environmental specialization opportunities for engineering students, but at present no separate undergraduate environmental engineering education is offered. Such a curriculum is now under preparation and will be introduced in 1998. Several technical colleges also offer environmental engineering education, where the duration of the training is 3 years. Postgraduate education is a very suitable form to add environmental knowledge to the existing engineering knowledge of graduate engineers. The TUB and the universities in Miskolc and Veszprém are all very active in this field.
