EXPLORATION AND PRACTICE OF INTEGRATING ANCIENT CHINESE MECHANISMS INTO THE BASIC ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY COURSES OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
XIAO Linzhen;DOU Yunjie;
Abstract:
The basic engineering technology courses of industrial design have the attributes of science and engineering courses. The current teaching of these courses does not match well with the characteristics and developmental needs of product design students, and there are many problems that need to be addressed through curriculum reform to enhance teaching effectiveness. This paper analyzes the current status of the teaching of basic engineering technology courses in industrial design and summarizes the existing problems. It explores the teaching value of ancient Chinese mechanisms in the context of product design students' characteristics and integrates ancient Chinese mechanisms into the teaching of these courses. Targeted reforms and practices are carried out in teaching content, methods, and cases. The results show that the teaching reform has increased students' enthusiasm for learning. The design ideas and philosophies contained in traditional Chinese mechanisms provide guidance for students' learning and design activities, helping them develop a scientific and rigorous design mindset. It also enhances students' identification with and sense of belonging to Chinese traditional culture, thereby boosting cultural confidence.
