Abstract
This paper focuses on the needs of automation professional talent cultivation in the context of the construction of new engineering disciplines, and takes the course “Freshman Engineering Experience” as the research object, and carries out a systematic exploration of teaching reform in response to the problems of insufficient professional cognition and disconnection between theory and practice that exist in the current engineering education. By restructuring the curriculum system, innovating teaching methods and optimizing the practice platform, a progressive cultivation mode of “Cognition-Practice-Innovation” has been constructed. In curriculum design, the combination of professional guidance and engineering practice is emphasized, in teaching implementation, project-driven and teamwork are strengthened, and in practice, the combination of reality and industry-academia synergy is emphasized. Reform practice shows that the model effectively improves students' professional cognitive level and engineering practice ability, and provides useful reference for the cultivation of applied talents under the background of new engineering disciplines, and the ideas of curriculum construction and implementation path formed by the research have reference value for the teaching reform of engineering majors in similar institutions.
