Project-oriented teaching reform of Environmental Microbiology based on engineering education professional certification and industrial demands

Abstract:

According to the local industrial demands and the standards of national engineering education professional certification, our team implemented a project-oriented teaching reform of the course Environmental Microbiology and constructed an innovative teaching model that integrated teaching, learning, education, and application. We designed 3 teaching projects, 17 learning tasks, and 4 course objectives, improved the evaluation methods for achievements, and established a diversified assessment system. The reform was characterized by diverse teaching methods and forms and emphasized the unique teaching and ideological and political education.
