Design and Practice of Forging Forming Comprehensive Experiment Based on the Whole Process Training of Engineering Ability

Given the prominent problems in the comprehensive experiment teaching of metallic material forging forming and in response to the need of social and economic development and the requirement of students’ engineering ability cultivation, material forming and control engineering discipline of Shandong University carries out the teaching reform on forging forming comprehensive experiment guided by the concept of engineering education professional accreditation. A comprehensive experiment design is proposed with the characteristics of blending, system integrity, virtual-reality combination, and wide interaction, and the forging forming comprehensive experiment project is constructed with the characteristics of one kernel, two models, three combinations, four factors, and the whole process. In the project, the training of the ability to solve complex engineering problems can be seen in the whole process of forging forming. In addition, the project presents distinguished features in teaching philosophy, experiment content, teaching model, teaching method, and teaching organization. Years of practice suggests that the proposed forging forming comprehensive experiment is conducive to the effective transfer of professional knowledge and experimental skills into the ability to solve complex engineering problems.
