dong dianbiao, who teaches the course engineering design method, guided students to discover engineering design in their life utilizing huawei’s innovative achievements. it helped students establish a knowledge framework and emphasized the engineering design process of “conceptual design-embodiment design-detail design.” a diversified assessment mechanism, designed by dong dianbiao, helps students purposefully apply what they have learned, focused on the various ways of presenting knowledge, such as writing and speech.when describing the complexity of engineering design, he took the electric hot-water bottle as an example to show its complex parameters, paving the way for the follow-up study of doe.in this way, the demonstration with both pictures and texts and clear presentations allowed the students to have a concrete understanding of relevant professional concepts.
mr. shen zhikang gave a trial lecture on a rapidly developing emerging technology ofmanufacturing technology— friction stir welding (fsw).he started with the classification of welding technology to encourage students to identify the similarities and differences between this welding technology and other welding technologies. he designed some questions and interacted with the students to keep the teaching quality during the lecture.
