中美高校土木工程材料课程教学差异研究OA

This paper presents a comparative study made on the classroom teaching,experimentation and assessment of the Civil Engineering Materials courses between Chinese and American universities.Compared with domestic universities,more school hours are allocated to the experimentation in America,which illustrates the America universities putting great emphasis on students'mastery of basic knowledge and students'improvement of practical and engineering abilities,as well as their independent learning ability.In terms of teaching mode,online education is playing an increasingly important role in domestic universities.It has been proposed in this paper that Chinese universities should increase experimental hours appropriately and start to use different teaching content according to different majors.In addition,the teaching assistant system in the United States is worth learning by domestic colleges and universities.It can strengthen the communication between teachers and students after class and hereby improvethe quality of teaching.
