In 2010, In order to fulfill the Education Ministry’s requirement of “improving the connotation of higher vocational college development”, and satisfy the needs of making “the basic requirement for higher vocational education”, the Automation Teaching Instruction Committee of Higher Vocational Education of Ministry of Education, PRC has started the construction plan for “Engineering Practice and Innovation Project”.
The work for its construction mainly includes the followings: organize the engineering practice and innovation project team, develop the construction standard for the training lab, choose the engineering practice and innovation project supporting platform, set up the national engineering practice and innovation project training base, develop the engineering practice and innovation project related textbook and teaching resource, provide the training service for the engineering practice and innovation project relevant faculty, introduce the typical and professional teaching plan, design the project contest, and make the project promotion, etc.
During the project construction, the various parties have provided the precious supports. Shanghai xPartner Robot Co., Ltd. is the chief organizer of the related enterprises and industries; exports and teachers from the profession construction team and the curriculum development team of the Education Ministry’s Teaching Guidance Committee of Higher Vocational College’s Automation Major are the key persons for the project development; Tianjin Qichengweiye Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric-automation (China) Co., Ltd., American National Instruments (China) Co., Ltd., Germany Siemens (China) Co., Ltd. are the important cooperation participants who jointly provide the supporting platform for implementing engineering practice innovation project plan.
With the continuous development during these years, the POWERON innovative course kit has been widely used as the teaching and training devices in many universities, vocational colleges, primary and middle schools. Based on the various training purposes, different colleges have used it as the basic teaching and learning platform for the basic professional course, professional technical course, work competence development course, comprehensive teaching and training course, innovative practice course, some after-class clubs and different interest groups.
In the recent years, the POWERON innovative course kit has been popularly used in different countries and become the profession education equipment for foreign colleges.
During “2012 National Vocational Students’ Skill Competition”, which has been held in Tianjin in June, 2012, the POWERON innovative course kit has become the technical devices focus for “the International Education Conference on Automation Engineering Practice and Innovation”. At the same time, it has been designated as the competition device for “the International Challenging Competition of Automation Engineering Practice and Innovation”, and the teachers and students from various countries have made great appreciations about it.
In September, 2012, the 1st China-ASEAN Vocational Education Forum & Exhibition has been held in the city of Nanning, China. The POWERON innovative course kit has received good comments from the officials from different countries’ education ministries, vocational education experts, and foreign college colleagues. The Malaysia team, composed by contestants MUHAMAD SUFIAN BIN JAAFAR and MOHAMMAD YAZID BIN ABDUL RAHIM, has got the first prize by using the POWERON innovative course kit.
It has become an urgent need to develop high-level education resource and serve various education needs for different types of colleges by using the POWERON innovative course kit. Based on the real engineering project, the teaching resource development team should make the students understand and learn the real engineering project so as to crystallize the core technologies of the related projects. By using POWERON innovative course kit and making contrasts with the real engineering project, the students build the high-level simulation project by themselves, and also they should highly simulate to complete the system design, finish the structure, connect different lines, monitor the operation status and detect the system failures by using the VJC graphical interactive developing system.
The book has the following main chapters: “Project Guidance”, “Project Start”, “Project Preparation”, “Project Practice”, “Project Decision” and “Project Challenging”. The content begins with the related engineering knowledge introduction at first, and then moves to its application and innovation; the book’s arrangement is from easy to difficult, from the perceptual to the rational. It can help the teachers and learners understand and experience the teaching and learning methods used for engineering practice and innovation, and also provide the engineering practice knowledge and experience, improve the technical practice and innovation abilities, expand the professional knowledge and form good professional behavior for different learners.
The book has strengthened the “authenticity” of the engineering practice samples, the “deepness” of the electro-mechanical technology application, the “broadness” of the innovative practice, the “richness” of the teaching and learning material, the “closeness” between hard and soft systems, the “effectiveness” of the virtual simulation, and the “happiness” of the teaching and learning process. It has objectively reflected China’s education level for automation engineering practice and innovation, and made the tentative exploration for new teaching and learning modes.
This teaching and learning material has three parts, the colored textbook, multimedia disk and the online teaching and learning material. According to the structure of each project, the multimedia disk has included the related contest video, technical experience video, typical sample construction video of the innovative kit, teaching and learning site video, system operation simulation video, the composition diagram of the mechanical structure sample, engineering project material, software tool, typical project program, teaching and learning PPT and reference, teaching task, reference and guidance material for teaching and learning, pictures of the different components and parts, large number of the device photos and files, etc. These have provided the vivid, direct and stereoscopic “teaching” and “learning” materials.
The book has 6 chapters, and different persons are responsible for different parts. Professor Lv Jingquan, General Manager Fei Xufeng and Vice Professor Tang Xiaohua are responsible for Project Guidance; Engineer Qiu Yafan is for Project Start; Engineer Jin Yongli is for Project Preparation; Vice Professor Chen Yongping, Engineer Jin Yongli, Professor Zhang Wenming and Vice Professor Tang Xiaohua are for Project Practice; Engineer Jin Yongli and Vice Professor Chen Yongping are for Project Decision; Engineer Jin Yongli and Vice Professor Tang Xiaohua are for Project Challenging. The whole book are jointly arranged and systematically guided by Professor Lv Jingquan and General Manager Fei Xufeng, and they have also proofread the whole book with Vice Professor Tang Xiaohua and Professor Zhang Wenming. The English version is edited by Wang Jinfeng from Tianjin Sino-German Vocational Technical College and Jin Yongli from Shanghai xPartner Robot Co., Ltd.
Great appreciations are sincerely given to those for their generous help provided during the book’s writing. They are from Shanghai xPartner Robot Co., Ltd., Tianjin Sino-German Vocational Technical College, Shanghai Technical Institute of Electronics & Information, Changzhou Textile Garment Institute, Jiangsu Union Technical Institute, Zhejiang Industry Polytechnic College, Jiangxi Vocational & Technical College of Industry and Trade, and Shanghai Medical Instrumentation College, etc.
Thanks are also given to the engineers and technical personnel of Shanghai xPartner Robot Co., Ltd., and other related industries and enterprises.
Due to the limited experience, knowledge and time of the editor, there are some shortcomings and deficiencies in the book. The advices from exports and readers are warmly welcome.
