Exploration and practice in the education model reform of the course âÂÂDesign of the Coal Preparation PlantâÂÂ

To improve the quality and enhance the ability of students as mineral processing professionals, especially given the current ineffective teaching methods for the course of “Design of the Coal Preparation Plant”, an education reform model that emphasizes the development of students’ technological innovation and engineering practice ability is proposed in this paper. This model consists of the creation of an open learning environment, which is the basis, the training of students’ engineering design capability, which is the breakthrough, and the integration of theoretical teaching with production practice, which is the core. Furthermore, the authors have striven to provide some new ideas for full-featured teaching styles of universities and colleges, and for the development and improvement of the innovative training model.
