摘要

In order to meet the needs in industrial practice for subject matter experts, this paper introduced the application of project-based design and lecture learning in the course of Mechanical Design. This method is based on the cooperation between academics and industry and relies on Collaborative Innovation Center at Huzhou University. In this paper, the transformation approaches of Mechanical Design course under the new form were described. The setting method of project-based design and lecture learning in Mechanical Design was presented. In addition, the curriculum implementation, teaching arrangements, specific projects, and requirements were elaborated in details. Finally, the examination of the teaching was discussed. The results of teaching evaluation and questionnaires demonstrated the effectiveness of the presented teaching method.
