Construction of experiment teaching demonstration center with interests driven, independent experiments, and exploratory innovation

Experiment teaching is the essential part of engineering undergraduate teaching and the important way of strengthening theory teaching content, training students’ practical ability and expanding students’ innovative thinking. With the goal of “strengthen experiment teaching, practice link and theory teaching, emphasize ability training, improve teaching quality”, the research and practice of exploratory innovative experiment teaching system and platform was fully carried on in this study. And the effective complementary atmosphere of theory teaching and experiment teaching has been formed, by building the experiment teaching system—with students as the center and ability training as the core— to change the students’ way of accepting passively and practicing largely and repeatedly, and to guide students to independently participate in the whole process of learning, practice and doing pioneering work, with the support of national engineering mechanics demonstration center and strengthened platform. That fully played the role of the experiment teaching in the cultivation of talents, and maximized the students’ gains
