Mechanical and Electronic Engineering has always been the specialty of ZhejiangUniversity. Principal Lu Yongxiang has been paying attention to the undergraduate teaching construction and hopes that the undergraduate teaching of mechanical electronics will reach a higher level. After undertaking the comprehensive education reform project of ZhejiangUniversity, we have been paying attention to integrate and optimize the intersection of multiple research directions by advantages of national key disciplines, national key laboratories and national engineering technology research centers. The goal of this project is to strengthen and make full use of mechanical and electronic specialty and to train more excellent graduates. Since the implementation of the project, all aspects of undergraduate teaching have been significantly improved.
The training program is the top priority in undergraduate education. The undergraduate training program for Mechanical and ElectronicEngineering has undergone a new round of adjustment, reconstruction. From the traditional hydraulics to the emerging electromechanical system, the equipment has been put into utter use. The professional training program has been greatly refined and adjusted. The reform ideas and layout of the teaching plan are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1)Refine and adjust the teaching plan, reorganize the entire teaching system to make it more reasonable, and not only for the needs of the nation but also the increasing needs of an internationalized and innovative society;
2)Define professional modules, which are divided into two directions: fluid drive and control module (also referred to as a hydraulic module)and mechanical and electronic control module ( also referred as an electromechanical module, including MEMS ). The former is mainly for the major needs of the country, while the latter is mainly oriented to International innovative social development needs;
3)Further, strengthen the core curriculum construction that represents the professional direction;
4)Based on the concept of personalized experimental teaching, the experimental teaching resources are integrated and strengthened, and the two teaching experimental platforms of fluid dynamics and electromechanical control are reconstructed. Each platform is divided into three levels, including basic course experimental platform, core course experimental platform and large experimental platform(innovative experiment);
5)Small class internship pilot;
6)Construction of an international faculty;
7)Relying on the scientific research advantages of the Institute ofMechanical and Electronic Control Engineering, the State KeyLaboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, and the NationalElectro-hydraulic Control Engineering Technology Research Center to strengthen undergraduate teaching.
