Design and practice of the course of "Biochemical Engineering Experiment" under the context of "Emerging Engineering Education" / 生物工程学报

"Biochemical Engineering Experiment" is a compulsory curriculum for the concentrated practical teaching of biotechnology majors in Hunan University of Science and Engineering. It is also an experimental curriculum for improving the overall quality of bioengineering students under the context of "Emerging Engineering Education". The course includes comprehensive experiments and designable experiments, and the contents of which are designed by combining the local characteristic resources of Yongzhou, the research platform and the characteristics of the talents with engineering background. In the teaching practice, methods such as heuristic teaching, research cases-embedded teaching and interactive teaching are comprehensively used to boost students' interest in learning and stimulate their innovative thinking and application capability. Through curriculum examination and post-class investigation, it was found that the students' abilities of knowledge transfer and application were significantly improved, and they achieved excellent performances in discipline competitions and approved project proposals. The practice and continuous improvement of this course may facilitate fostering high-level innovative and application-oriented talents of biotechnology majors.

Reform of the bio-separation engineering curriculum under the context of "Emerging Engineering Education" / 生物工程学报

"Bio-separation engineering" is a compulsory course for undergraduate students majored in bioengineering, and an important part of the "emerging engineering education" system for bioengineering. Our teaching team follows the principle of "student development as the center, innovation thinking as the core". Guided by the concept of "learning achievement", we reconstructed the teaching contents of this course, and carried out the teaching reform aiming at solving several long-standing problems. These include, for instance, the theoretical teaching is separated from the experimental practice, and students cannot internalize the theoretical knowledge into practical ability in time. Moreover, the contents of course is out-of-date and out of line with industry demand, the teaching form and assessment methods are relatively single, and the students' professional ability and quality are not effectively cultivated. In the new curriculum system, in which the "online" and "offline" teaching are both applied, we broke the boundary between theoretical and experimental courses, and made the contents keep up with the forefront of industry development through research-based teaching. In terms of teaching methods and teaching evaluation, we made full use of modern information technology to enrich classroom teaching activities, and carried out complete, dynamic and diversified assessment for students. These teaching reform measures greatly improved the students' interest in learning this course, as well as their professionalism and research ability.

Reform and practical experience of bilingual course for "Environmental Biotechnology" with the development of "Emerging Engineering Education" / 生物工程学报

The construction of "Emerging Engineering Education" aims at cultivating high-quality graduates capable of engineering practice, innovation and international competitiveness. Bilingual courses have become one of the effective means to cultivate qualified students with skills of both professional knowledge and international communication. However, the teaching effect of most bilingual courses is not very ideal. Based on analyzing common problems in the current bilingual teaching, we take the bilingual course of environmental biotechnology as an example, and discusses possible improvement strategies from the aspects of the construction of teaching mode, the establishment of quality control system, the selection of textbooks and the optimization of assessment methods. Moreover, we summarize experience and shortcomings on improving the lecturers' ability, students' learning enthusiasm and school's support. It is expected to provide useful reference for improving the effect of bilingual teaching in biotechnology-relevant courses.

Construction of five-level practical teaching system for bioengineering under Emerging Engineering Education background / 生物工程学报

Strengthening practical teaching, together with improving innovation ability is one of the key tasks of Emerging Engineering Education. This paper is based on the revision of the training program of bioengineering in School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, improved the practical teaching system and curriculum content, built a five-level teaching system for basic experiment, comprehensive experiment, course design, scientific research and practical training. In order to cultivate outstanding innovative talents with practical ability and innovative spirit, innovative teaching reform mode is proposed. Furthermore the new thought and new schemes for Emerging Engineering Education are put forward.
