    Content reformation of the course “Principles and Technologies of Heat Treatment” based on Emerging Engineering Edusation
    Xiong Zhiping, Wang Yingchun, Cheng Xingwang
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2024, 49 (4): 284-287.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2024.04.045

    Principles and Technologies of Heat Treatment” is not only a core course in the field of metals but also a course closely integrated with engineering practice. This course has been using the syllabus from the last century and as a result, the teaching content is obsolete. Additionally, because the course is “theoretical, metaphysical, comprehensive and practical”, it is difficult for students to master the contents and to solve heat treatment issues in practice. Based on the requirements for talent training in Emerging Engineering Edusation, the course content needs to be systematically reformed. Firstly, the core knowledge should be extracted, which is the principle of solid-state phase transformation; additionally, its teaching should be deepen in order to improve the theoretical level of students. Secondly, the traditional heat treatment processes of steels should be simplified, making students master the heat treatment processes more systematically. Finally, the newly developed heat treatment processes, as well as the phase transformation and heat treatment process of other important metals, should be integrated. This can further help students deeply understand the principle of solid-state phase transformation. Importantly, students′ innovative thinking is cultivated, so that they have the ability to solve heat treatment problems.

    Discussion on the teaching of “Principles and Technologies of Heat Treatment” under background of engineering education professional certification
    Zhang Jianping, Huang Jun, Xu Jilin
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2024, 49 (4): 288-292.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2024.04.046
    Abstract38)      PDF (1434KB)(18)      
    With the increasingly close scientific and cultural exchanges in the world, the ability of engineering and technical personnel is also put forward higher requirements. Accompanied with the tendency of the day, the professional certification of engineering education points out the direction for the training of engineering and technical personnel in our country. Based on the core concept of engineering education certification, the teaching of “Principles and Technologies of Heat Treatment” were discussed, which aimed at cultivating students ability. In the analysis of curriculum objectives, learning situation and curriculum content, the comprehensive teaching methods including analogy, discussion, case study, inquiry and flipped classroom were explored, and certain teaching results were achieved.

    Necessity and designation of integrated application elective course for metal-related majors——“Materials Engineering and Performance” elective course
    Xiong Zhiping, Wang Yingchun, Cheng Xingwang
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2025, 50 (1): 337-340.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2025.01.051
    Abstract25)      PDF (1242KB)(14)      
    The existing curriculum system for metal-related majors provides students with perfectly solid training in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. However, it is difficult for students to integrate the knowledge points scattering across different courses into a complete knowledge system. This indicates that there is still a lack of an integrated application course that enables students to flexibly apply all their professional knowledge. Therefore, the elective course "Materials Engineering and Performance" has been designed. It covers microstructure control, strengthening mechanisms, and ductility and toughness mechanisms, which helps students to integrate the theoretical knowledge of materials science. Importantly, it can cultivate their ability to design new metal materials. Thus, this course will enable students to effectively address practical issues in the fields of science and engineering.
