“互联网+”发酵工程实操与虚拟仿真中试实验室平台的建设与探索

Exploration and construction of Internet Plus fermentation engineering practice and virtual simulation pilot laboratory platform

摘要:

发酵工程是理工科高校生物工程学科领域的核心课程之一，是一门应用性、实践性极强的专业课程。该课程传统的实践模式已无法满足当前高校对大学生工程素质教育的需求。随着信息技术、自控技术的飞速发展，多层次、跨学科的“互联网+”教学已成为现今高等教育人才培养的新模式。本文中的发酵工程实操与虚拟仿真中试实验室平台以工程学为技术手段，通过“互联网+”将虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)技术、信息自动化控制技术、数据库与发酵过程控制有机地结合在一起，构建一个“虚实”结合的“多维”工程中试实验室平台，并以此作为抓手开展食品发酵技能训练课程工程素质教育教学的创新与探索。初步建设成果与前期教学效果表明，该实验室平台的建设对发酵工程及相关专业学生的实践动手能力有明显的提高，为后期建设积累了宝贵的经验及大量有价值的工程实训数据。

Abstract:

Fermentation engineering is one of the core courses in the field of bioengineering in colleges and universities of science and engineering. It is an applied and practical professional course, and the traditional application of this course has been unable to meet the current needs of college students looking for quality engineering education. With the rapid development of information technology and automatic control technology, multi-level and interdisciplinary “Internet Plus” teaching has become a new mode of talent training in higher education. In this paper, the fermentation engineering practice and virtual simulation pilot laboratory platform takes engineering as a technical means-combining VR technology, information automation control technology, and database and fermentation process controlling through “Internet Plus”; Constructing a “multi-dimensional” engineering laboratory pilot platform with the combination of “virtual reality”, and using it for innovation and exploration toward building quality education and teaching in the Food Fermentation Skills Training Course of fermentation engineering specialty. The results of the preliminary construction and the earlier teaching results show that the construction of the laboratory platform has a clear improvement in the practical ability of the fermentation engineering and related professional students, and has accumulated valuable experience and immeasurable engineering training data for later construction.
