Exploration of Mechanical Technology Foundation Teaching for Non-Mechanical Majors

In order to extend the knowledge for non-mechanical majors students, many collages or universities offer mechanical technology foundation course for them. Due to the lack of relative professional knowledge, many problems arise during the teaching this course. Based these problems, this paper proposes a reformation for teaching model in classroom, practice section and assessment.For teaching model, the actual engineering problems are introduced to class for taking attention of students.Moreover, it leads to close combination of the theory and the practice. The self-directed experiment section is added to the reformation.The updated assessment break malpractices of the traditional examination. These reformations can extend students knowledge and stimulate students interest in machines.It also trains students to solve practical problems with new consciousness and thinking and cultivate students innovative thinking and innovation ability.
