ABSTRACT: The Principle of Automatic Control course is the core course of the
automation majors. In accordance with the key points of developing the
first-class undergraduate course, the teaching team has carried out timely
teaching reform to enhance the advanced, innovative and challenging features of
the course. A teaching mode combining online and offline activities has been
developed to reflect the “student-oriented and teacher-led” teaching
philosophy. It adopts the teaching method of problem-based learning. Questions
are used throughout the online and offline processes. Teachers should assign
questions, and students should discuss the questions and learn cooperatively.
In this way, it can help students to better understand the learning content,
flexibly apply the knowledge they have learned, and enhance their ability to
identify, analyze and solve problems. At the same time, teachers should grasp
the main channel of classroom teaching, actively explore the ideological and
political education of the course, and put equal emphasis on knowledge transfer
and value leadership. In this way, teachers can work hard to foster
professional and technical talents that meet the needs of society in the
context of the new engineering discipline.
