The experimental center of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering School is a 5,800-square-meter college-level experimental teaching demonstration center, with a fixed asset of 12.3 million RMB and 802 sets of experimental instruments and equipment. The center has built an excellent training center of modern manufacturing technology and 20 laboratories for mechanical design, mechanical innovation, mechanical and electronic synthesis, application of single chip microcomputer, numerical control processing technology, engineering test, transmission and control of fluid, 3D printing, handicraft molding and welding technique. Now there are 6 full-time experimental teachers and 34 teachers who engage in the theory courses with experiments. 33 courses and 104 experiments are carried out according to the requirements of talent cultivation plans. The ratio of experiment executed and planned is 100%.
Adhering to the teaching principle of "deepening the theoretical knowledge, improving practical ability and strengthening innovation consciousness through experiments", the center has constructed a three-level teaching system of cultivation for fundamental abilities, engineering practical abilities and innovation abilities. Students can receive comprehensive training of mechanical experimental skills, professional quality and engineering practical abilities in the center, and promote their comprehensive quality and innovative ability in an all-round way.
The center, taking “thinking in the experiments, innovating in the thoughts, growing in the innovation” as guidance, encourages students and competition teams to enter the lab & metalworking training center to develop practical and innovative activities for promoting their innovative awareness and ability.
Taking the “transformation” of the school as an opportunity, the center is building an open experimental center to provide a strong guarantee for students’ basic practice, skill practice and comprehensive practice in college, relying on the teaching & research project of “A study on the development of multi-level open experiments & the management mechanism and operating mode of labs based on cross-disciplines” in Hubei province.
