Teaching Reform of Three-dimensional Mechanical Design Course

The three-dimensional mechanical design (PROE) is a compulsory course for mechanical majors. During the learning process, they are not really familiar with the mechanical equipment and do not understand the specific composition, working principle and schematic diagram of the mechanical equipment. This paper aims at the problems existing in the current study of PROE curriculum, and proposes the method of teaching reform based on the PROE course of production, education and research. Through the practical case of the three-dimensional design of mechanical equipment and the construct of small group and cooperation, the design of mechanical equipment is accomplished so as to achieve the purpose of training students' actual product design capabilities.
