工程硕士研究生培养中应用案例课程研究

案例课程教学以理论与实践结合为着力点,旨在解决理论知识和实际工作脱节的问题。案例课程教学符合工程硕士培养目标,是现阶段工程硕士教育改革重要方向。以河海大学地质工程专业工程硕士案例课程为例,探讨了案例课程建设、实施,并给出案例教学进一步改进的建议。研究表明,案例教学法作为一种与工程硕士相适应的教学模式,能够有效调动研究生学习积极性,促进研究生思考,提升学习成效;同时又是一个具有启发性、开放性和互动性的学习过程,需要教师和研究生相互配合、共同努力完成。案例教学法需从加强教师科研素养、丰富教学案例类别、甄选典型实用工程案例、加强师生互动和完善研究生评价机制五个方面进行改进。

Research on application case courses in the cultivation of Engineering Master degree graduate students

Case course teaching focuses on the combination of theory and practice, and aims to solve the problem of disconnection between theoretical knowledge and practical work. The teaching of case courses is in line with the training goal of Master of Engineering and is an important direction of education reform of Master of Engineering now. Taking case courses of Geological Engineering Master of Hohai University as an example, the construction and implementation of case courses are discussed, and suggestions for further improvement of case teaching are given. The results show that, as a teaching mode suitable for Engineering Masters, case teaching method can effectively mobilize graduate students'' learning enthusiasm, promote their thinking, and enhance learning outcomes. Meanwhile, it is an enlightening, open and interactive learning process, which needs cooperation and joint efforts of teachers and graduate students. Case teaching method can be improved in the following five aspects:strengthening teachers'' scientific research literacy, enriching teaching case categories, selecting typical practical engineering cases, strengthening teacher-student interaction, and improving the evaluation mechanism for graduates.
