Developing a Curriculum for Sino-Australia Cooperative Mechanical Engineering Program

SUMMARY

Guided by the purpose of fostering international high-quality engineering personnel, based on the problems found in a curriculum setup of Sino-Australian Mechanical Engineering collaborative teaching program. This study is focused on developing the curriculum setup that takes modern electro-mechanical product and system design as the principle, and develops students' fundamental, core and comprehensive employability as the centre, as well as achieves Sino-foreign mechanical engineering curriculum that includes target and contents, theoretical knowledge and practical projects, traditional classroom and online delivery, via research and practice from four aspects including course setup, practical component, teaching mode and assessment scheme, in order to provide theoretical and practical reference for a better Sino-foreign collaborative teaching model and reform of relevant teaching scheme. This paper discusses about the design and implementation of a Curriculum for Mechanical Engineering for the joint program. This Curriculum aims to educate the students, a multidisciplinary knowledge in the domain of Engineering, technology as well as management. The implementation of this curriculum at Wuhan University of Science and Technology has showed a large improvement of student skills that permits it to become a national curriculum.https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.17.2.4
