Aesthetic education is necessary for cultivating the comprehensive quality of graduates majoring in mechanical engineering. This article analyses the existing issues related to the aesthetic education in mechanical engineering, such as the disconnection between teaching content and the needs of mechanical engineering students in the real world, along with the dated course design. It examines three cases of aesthetic education courses, revealing the role of aesthetic education in enhancing the comprehensive quality of students from mechanical engineering. To better build a good cultivated environment of mechanical engineering students, this article suggests optimizing the content of aesthetic education teaching, broadening teaching channels, and improving the teaching evaluation system, which all aim to enrich the practical paths of aesthetic education in the higher education and help graduates to reach the basic requirements of a qualified application engineers.
