Abstract:
Guided by the new engineering education philosophy—“establishing engineering concepts, fostering engineering competencies, and highlighting engineering characteristics”—this paper undertakes a reform and exploration of practical teaching for the aircraft airworthiness technology specialty. The core of this reform is the proposal of a “project-oriented” practical teaching model, which includes designing appropriate airworthiness verification engineering projects, building a project case database, and establishing a scientific evaluation system for practical teaching. To address the current lack of practical training in this specialty, this model significantly improves students’ overall competencies and cultivates outstanding airworthiness professionals with practical abilities by applying theoretical knowledge and mathematical modeling methods to the design and implementation of airworthiness verification projects. Through the implementation of “project-oriented” practical teaching, students have demonstrated marked improvements in their airworthiness engineering competencies, allowing them to successfully undertake and complete comprehensive airworthiness verification projects.
