In order to cultivate students’ ability of analysis, design and mechanism innovation for complex
mechanical system, the teaching reform of Theory of machinery is guided by “high-level, innovative
and challenging” in the construction of “golden course”. The teaching mode of “precise teaching” is
constructed, and the precise teaching of core knowledge points is carried out through the three elements
of “precise positioning of content, precise combination of teams and accurate teaching of process”. With
“students” as the center, the teaching design is carried out according to the cognitive law, guided by
“learning guidance”, strengthened by “guided practice”, promoted by “guided application”, and applied
in the specific practice of talent training mode by “three guidance teaching method”. A whole course
knowledge system integrating penetration, internalization of knowledge and continuous strengthening
of ability is formed; based on the idea of boundary redesign, the curriculum content is reshaped and the
core of curriculum is solved. In order to lay a foundation for the construction of first-class courses, we
should integrate the contents, cross apply various teaching links, methods and means, and continuously
strengthen the knowledge transfer and ability training. Starting from the core knowledge points, the
curriculum reform emphasizes the internalization of knowledge to skills, which lays an important
foundation for students to engage in mechanical design, research and development in the future.
