A comparative study of Mechanical Engineering Measurements course between HIT and Purdue University

The teaching progress of Measurement Systems of Purdue University and the Mechanical Engineering Measurements of Harbin Institute of Technology is compared in this paper. The two courses are similar courses and both for juniors of Mechanical Engineering Department. The comparisons of course contents, teaching method and grading mode are carried out. Through the analysis of the comparisons, we propose the reform direction of the course. We conclude that teaching materials revision, teaching method improvement, and grading mode are the three main directions that we should reform the Mechanical Engineering Measurements of HIT.
