Research on the Teaching Reform Path of Python Courses for Mechanical Majors

Abstract

Driven by the rapid advancement of intelligent manufacturing technologies, Python has gained broader application scenarios within mechanical engineering disciplines. Nevertheless, existing Python courses tailored for mechanical majors still face multiple teaching drawbacks, including ambiguous curriculum positioning, disconnection between teaching materials and industry specialties, as well as monotonous teaching modes. Combined with project-based learning and integrated teaching concepts, this paper puts forward a targeted reform scheme for Python courses in mechanical majors. The reform covers four key dimensions: clarifying curriculum orientation, reorganizing teaching content, innovating teaching approaches and optimizing assessment systems. Practical teaching cases are also provided to verify the actual effect of the proposed reforms. After implementing the above adjustments, the updated teaching framework can effectively stimulate students’ learning initiative and strengthen their practical programming capabilities. This research delivers solid support for cultivating mechanical engineering talents who can meet the talent demands under the intelligent manufacturing industry background.
