4. Practice Teaching
1). National level experiment teaching demonstration center
Adhering to the fine tradition “take practice as priority” and combing with our school’s discipline characteristic engineering-oriented and science and engineering combined, TJU makes full use of advantages in engineering education and by increasing capital investment, publishing related policies and measures and improve lab management and operation mechanism, etc, to comprehensively speed up lab construction and experiment teaching reform. Since 2005, 6 national level experiment teaching demonstration centers (demonstration center construction unit) have been successively approved.
2). National level engineering practice teaching center
Engineering practice teaching centre is an important support of engineering practice ability training. Universities and enterprises jointly construct engineering practice teaching center is an essential reform for China promoting “excellent engineer training plan”. Till June 2012, national level engineering practice teaching center was approved, which is jointly applied by TJU and 12 enterprises and public institutions.
3). National level virtual simulation experiment teaching center
Chemistry and chemical engineering virtual simulation experiment teaching center was approved as national level virtual simulation experiment teaching center in 2004.The center has integrated all virtual stimulation experiment teaching resources of chemistry and chemical engineering and all those resources and information can be shared in center website. Unit operations of chemical engineering and chemical process virtual simulation experiment have played an important role in teaching practice. And the practical simulation software co-developed with enterprises also contributes a lot in every year’s student practice, personnel training of petrochemical industry, and skill certification.
