Exploration on the engineering laboratory construction and design based on the CDIO education mode

The importance and necessity of the construction of the CDIO engineering laboratory are elaborated firstly. Then, knowledge impartment and capability cultivation are combined through reference in the CDIO teaching philosophy and the guiding ideology of the educational reform, which is coordinated growth of knowledge, ability, and quality of students. The experimental teaching reform of the major-Machine design manufacture and its automation is taken as an example. Moreover, it is introduced that in recent three years, the featured major of the Ministry of Education-Machine design manufacture and its automation in Guangzhou University acquired a significant progress in the construction and design of the CDIO engineering laboratories. And Guangzhou University has formed its characteristics and advantages gradually. Meanwhile, the CDIO engineering laboratories enhance the quality of education and students give positive feedback to the environment of the site.
