Abstract: In response to the prevailing problems in the fire and explosion experiment teaching process of the safety engineering in universities, this paper, taking the fire and explosion experiment course in the safety engineering of Ningbo University of Technology as an example, systematically establishes three experiment teaching models of comprehensive demonstration, simulation and innovative design, designs the relatively independent performance evaluation criteria by using the ruler analysis method, and achieves the goal of theoretical and innovative experiment teaching. Through the practice and exploration of the fire and explosion experiment teaching course, the enthusiasm and initiative of students to participate in the experiment are significantly improved, and the students’ abilities to innovatively design fire and explosion experiments are also enhanced.
