机械系统动力学是各高校机械工程、力学、动力工程及工程热物理等机械类专业硕士研究生的一门重要的学位课,不仅是本科生材料力学、理论力学等课程的延伸,还是博士研究生高等动力学、非线性动力学等课程的基础,提高该门课程的教学质量是确保机械类研究生培养质量的关键课程之一.基于国内“双一流”学科建设的要求,以培养创新性科研人才为目标,分析目前课程教学存在的不足,提出面向工程实际的教学改革方法,并以西南石油大学机电工程学院2019级和2020级研究生为实践对象,开展教学改革方法的现场实践,发现:通过本课程的教学改革,提高“,”Mechanical system dynamics is an important degree course for postgraduates majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics, and Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics. It is not only the extension of undergraduate courses such as material mechanics and theoretical mechanics, but also the foundation of doctoral courses such as advanced dynamics and nonlinear dynamics. Improving the teaching quality of this course is one of the key courses to ensure the quality of mechanical postgraduate training. Based on the requirements of domestic “double firstclass” discipline construction and the goal of cultivating innovative scientific research talents, this study analyzes the shortcomings of the current curriculum teaching, and puts forward the teaching reform method oriented to engineering practice. Finally, the on-site practice of teaching reform method taking the 2019 and 2020 graduate students of school of mechanical and electrical engineering of Southwest Petroleum University as the practice objects was carried out. It is found that, through the teaching reform of this course, the overall performance of graduate students is improved, and their ability to solve practical engineering problems and write high-level academic papers is improved.
