Ziwei Senior High School in Haining City, Haining, China
With the rapid development of STEAM education, engineering education has become particularly important. The “General Technology Curriculum Standard for Ordinary High Schools”, which was published in 2017 in China, proposes five core competences in the subject, with engineering thinking being one of them. This shows that cultivating students’ engineering thinking ability in high school is of great significance. The author creatively took the design and production of Goldberg Simple Machinery Project as the course carrier, driven by tasks, and aimed at solving problems. In teaching design, the theory and practice were organically integrated and the complementary advantages of the theory and practice were achieved in teaching practice activities. Moreover, the effectiveness of project-based teaching in cultivating students’ engineering thinking has been verified through this practice. Meanwhile, some experience and a few shortcomings have been summarized. And these shortcomings need to be further improved to better serve teaching.
