“发酵工程专业课程设计”课程“课堂+仿真+工厂”三维一体教学改革与探索

Three-dimensional (classroom+virtual simulation+factory) integrated teaching reform for Fermentation Process Design

摘要:

“发酵工程专业课程设计”是湖南大学生物学院面向生物技术专业学生开设的特色本科实践环节课程，旨在加强学生实践和运用能力，鼓励学生将习得的微生物学和发酵工程知识在发酵工厂的实际应用中找到落脚点。传统的教学模式中，这门课程主要以课堂讲授为主。由于涉及发酵生产线运行、发酵设备参数设计等实践性较强的内容，单纯的课堂讲授不易调动学生的课堂积极性，同时也难以让学生对授课内容产生直观清晰的认识。在此背景下，我们针对课程进行了改革优化，在课程教学中全面引入虚拟仿真教学和工厂实践的教学模式。力争通过新模式下“发酵工程专业课程设计”的教学实施，加强学生对发酵工程原理的掌握，并强化学生的实践和运用能力。本文总结了现阶段课程“课堂+仿真+工厂”三维一体的开展模式，并结合学生反馈对实际授课效果进行了反思，以期为高等院校教学改革提供参考。

Abstract:

Fermentation Process Design is a distinctive practical course offered by the College of Biology at Hunan University for the undergraduates majoring in biotechnology. This course aims to enhance students' practical skills and application abilities, encouraging them to apply their acquired knowledge of microbiology and fermentation engineering in practical settings such as fermentation factories. The traditional teaching of this course primarily relies on classroom lectures. However, due to the practical nature of topics such as operating fermentation production lines and designing fermentation equipment parameters, we found that simple classroom lectures were not effective in triggering students' enthusiasm and providing them with a clear understanding of the teaching content. Therefore, we reformed the teaching for this course by introducing the teaching model of "classroom+virtual simulation+factory", aiming to improve students' understanding of the knowledge about fermentation engineering and their practical and application abilities. This article introduces the current three-dimensional integrated model of "classroom+virtual simulation+factory" in the teaching of Fermentation Process Design and evaluates the teaching effectiveness with the feedback from students. We hope that our work will provide reference information for the teaching reform of colleges and universities.
