The award results for the 2025 Liaoning Provincial Higher Education Undergraduate Teaching Achievement Exhibition Competition were recently announced. Two teaching achievements submitted by DBJI both received awards. The project "Three Integrations, One Driver: Innovative Construction of an International Education System for Fundamental Mechanics", led by Professor Yi Ping from the School of Infrastructure Engineering, won the First Prize. The project "Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Competition in Solid Mechanics Experimental Course Construction and Practice for Cultivating Innovative Top-Notch Talents", led by Senior Engineer Zhao Yanguang from the School of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering, won the Second Prize.
The project "Three Integrations, One Driver: Innovative Construction of an International Education System for Fundamental Mechanics" innovatively proposes a "Values–Knowledge–Ability" three-stage integrated model. By developing over 60 Chinese and English ideological and political case studies, the project systematically established a "four-module" curriculum-based ideological and political education system. It created a multidimensional course ecosystem that deeply integrates online and offline, in-class and extracurricular learning through the development of Chinese and English MOOCs, digital case libraries, and a cluster of printed textbooks. By utilizing online resources to offer school-based SPOCs, the project formed a "classroom–practice–competition" fully linked collaborative pathway for personalized ability development. The outcomes include the publication of 11 Chinese and English textbooks and supplementary materials, the development of 7 first-class courses, and the launch of two English MOOCs on the Chinese University MOOC International Platform, where they have been offered globally for nine rounds. These courses were also selected by the Ministry of Education as part of the international version of the National Smart Education Platform for cooperation with Russia.
The project "Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Competition in Solid Mechanics Experimental Course Construction and Practice for Cultivating Innovative Top-Notch Talents" leverages the university’s Engineering Mechanics Experimental Teaching Center to break through the traditional curriculum framework. It innovatively constructed a "experimental principle learning - experimental problem identification - experimental scenario design" three-in-one solid mechanics experimental course system. Through the development of virtual simulation experiment projects and the establishment of a VR virtual simulation experimental teaching platform, the project created a new "teaching, learning, competition" experimental teaching approach for cultivating innovative top-notch talents. It also integrated curriculum-based ideological and political education into the experimental classroom, strengthening students’ awareness of engineering applications and achieving the unity of character development and talent cultivation. Based on these outcomes, the project led to the recognition of 4 first-class courses, won 17 national-level or above awards, including the Gold Award at the China International College Students’ Innovation Competition (2023), and resulted in the publication of 15 scientific papers and patents. The relevant teaching resources have been adopted by more than 10 universities.
Both achievements were collaboratively completed by the Chinese and international faculty teams of DBJI, fully demonstrating the institution’s exploratory success and exemplary role in international talent cultivation. By leveraging the advantages of Chinese-foreign cooperative education, the institute has established a "Bachelor’s–Master’s–PhD multi-level interconnected training system," providing strong support for the cultivation and production of teaching achievements. Building on this foundation, the institute relies on the China-Belarus Belt and Road Joint Laboratory on Industrial Equipment and Instruments to promote the deep integration of teaching and research. International research outcomes and cutting-edge engineering cases are fed back into teaching practice, further enhancing the international level of talent cultivation and the capacity to serve national strategies. DBJI will continue to summarize and promote the valuable experience gained from these teaching achievements, persistently advancing educational reform and innovation, continuously improving the quality of talent cultivation, and contributing significantly to the university’s "Double First-Class" construction.
