Abstract:
To meet the demand from various academic majors to cultivate students’ practical engineering skills, traditional engineering practice courses are in urgent need of reform. This involves exploring new teaching approaches that reflect students’ professional characteristics and integrate product design with manufacturing. In the “Manufacturing Practice” course for electrical engineering students, a flywheel energy storage system—a topic highly relevant to their major—was selected as the teaching platform for the first time. This course integrates key stages such as design and modeling, machining, assembly, and debugging into its curriculum. Furthermore, it employs project-based learning approaches, engaging students in the entire project lifecycle, from design and implementation to final evaluation.Through this course, students not only acquire knowledge of flywheel energy storage technology but also enhance their engineering practice, innovation, and teamwork abilities. The implementation process, teaching methods, and outcomes of this model offer valuable insights and a practical reference for other universities seeking to reform their own engineering practice education.
