Abstract

To address the issues of insufficient teaching materials and relatively boring traditional teaching methods in engineering hardware courses using English as teaching language, we proposed a student-centered case teaching method. Starting from reconstructing the course content, we have used common household appliance control circuits as teaching cases to bring fun to the classroom and increase student participation. We have also innovated teaching mode with a six-step teaching method of “leading, analyzing, inquiring, evaluating, practicing, and summarizing” to carry out case-based teaching, allowing students to shift from passive learning to active innovation. Furthermore, we have reformed teaching evaluation methods, introducing diversified and humanized evaluation modes that integrate assessment activities throughout the entire learning process. Students are encouraged to participate in competitions related to the course content, improving their knowledge through practical application. Currently, initial results of these teaching innovations have been seen. The “Digital Logic” course has been recognized as “Branded Course for International Students Taught in English” by the Ministry of Education of China and a national-level first-class undergraduate course. The teaching achievements have also received multiple university-level and provincial-level teaching awards, and students have won numerous awards in related competitions.
