The paper generally presents about integrating soft skills into teaching by using experience-based teaching method. This method is the process in which the teacher plays the roles of organizing, guiding, orienting and implementing activities with learners, helping learners to find new knowledge, values and capabilities. That new knowledge and capacity continue to be verified in the process of experiencing reality, solving tasks posed by teacher, and then sharing the knowledge that has just been acquired with their friends and lecturer. Therefore, learners will be more receptive. Through the article, the authors would like to share teaching methods via practical experience in teaching specialized subjects of Mechanical Engineering to help students have more opportunities to experience, to apply the knowledge into reality, thence, forming skills and practical capacity as well as promoting the creative potential of the learners themselves.

Interdisciplinary Course

A novel teaching method is proposed to design the contents of the interdisciplinary courses for the specialized mechanical engineering education. The paper discusses the necessity of assigning the proper interdisciplinary courses on the analysis of currently increasing mixed-talent requirement in our modern society. The characteristics of interdisciplinary research are elucidated in order to obtain the hints for guiding the reform of teaching method to suit for the new status that occur in the interdisciplinary course. The relationships and intersections among the different majors are regards as the most important factor for teaching the interdisciplinary courses well. Refining the associated knowledge from these intersections is the core task for teachers since these contents are very easy to avoid the intense inner anxiety and conflict for the student due to the difference between the own and other majors. For the teacher, the contents of lessons should be designed on the basic of the specialized skill of student’s major and not exceed their knowledge structures on a large degree. Based on this behavior, the detailed knowledge of specialized mechanical engineering is gradually assigned in the classes and terminally the whole specialized industry is learned by the student, which is the desired goal. Finally, the example of electrical machinery is addressed for verifying the effectiveness of the approach of refining the intersections to design the contents and classes. The practical results show that the method proposed in this paper has the high effectiveness on teaching the interdisciplinary specialized mechanical engineering education. In addition, we believe that this schema is also able to be applied for the related interdisciplinary courses.

Green design and manufacturing strategies are necessary to cope with the current resource, energy, and environmental problems of the manufacturing industry. To meet various enterprises’ needs for green design and manufacturing, colleges and universities should integrate these concepts into their curricula. This study discusses the application of green strategies in the mechanical engineering field from the viewpoints of teaching, scientific research, and practical education. Based on its development and a basic connotation analysis, this study highlights the challenges and urgency of incorporating green concepts into teaching and research modules of mechanical engineering, as well as methods and implementation strategies to incorporate them in professional curricula using teaching method reform and the teaching and research integration method. An experimental training course of advanced manufacturing processes at the authors’ institution was amended to emphasize the integrated application of green design and manufacturing. This integration not only enriches the field of mechanical engineering but also provides scientific research directions and methods to educators, along with new ideas to imbibe students with mechanical talents for their technical development. These efforts lay the foundation for the sustainable development of China’s manufacturing industry.

Education Delivery

Speaking and listening are the four essential macro skills in English as Second Language (ESL) learning. In recent years, education evaluation has become a vital indicator in assessing the outcomes of the education delivery system. In this study, speaking and listening skills of students were assessed by using the Can-do scales. The scope of the study is confined to undergraduate and postgraduate mechanical engineering students with the aim to evaluate their capability in practicing their English language skills, particularly speaking and listening. The respondents are undergraduate and postgraduate students from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). A total of 39 respondents were involved in the survey conducted for this study. It is found that respondents have no difficulties if the conversation is regarding basic topics. Nevertheless, respondents have problems to speak when dealing with unfamiliar topics. The outcomes of this study can be utilised to improve students’ English communication skills. In addition, the teaching method can also be enhanced in order to enable students to communicate their subject matter that is engineering in both academic life and future career.

This paper addresses the curriculum change in the mechanical engineering (ME) undergraduate program at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB), located in Medellin, Colombia. The curriculum model of the UPB is based on develop of Human Capabilities and Professional Competences, through of learning and the achievement of outcome-related course learning objectives during the education process. The faculty of the ME department developed the Human Capabilities and Outcomes Map. This map shows the connection between general human capabilities that are strengthen through the ME program, the competences that are to be achieved, and the courses where the outcomes are developed in the curriculum. The courses organized in four technical areas: Design and Control, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, Energy and Thermofluids, and Management. The curricular design includes too the incorporation of four courses with integrator character. These courses are called Modules of Applied Engineering. In them, the student develops projects of engineering of low complexity; These projects involve the integration of topical courses in technical areas and the intentional development of human capacities and transversal competences. The faculty will assess the performance within a two-year period in order to quantify the impact of the curricular proposed.
