Abstract

This study aims to address the limitations of traditional metalworking internship teaching, such as insufficient student cognition, inaccurate course objectives, monotonous teaching modes, and scarce teaching resources. An innovative teaching model integrating blended learning and a project-driven approach is proposed. This model combines online theoretical teaching, virtual simulation, and offline practical operations with project-driven methods to achieve an organic integration of theory and practice. Additionally, curriculum ideological and political education (curriculum IPE) is incorporated to optimize teaching content, and a quantitative process-oriented assessment is implemented to comprehensively evaluate students' learning outcomes. The innovative teaching model effectively enhances students' learning interest and outcomes, fosters innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities, and improves comprehensive qualities and professional ethics. This study provides valuable insights for engineering education reform.
