Research on the Teaching Reform of the Course "Principles and Detection Technology of Sensors" in the Robot Engineering Major under the Background of the Construction of Strategic Emerging Specialties

Abstract

Under the background of strategic emerging professional construction, the teaching reform of the course “Sensor Principles and Detection Technology” in the Robotics Engineering major is of great significance. This paper explores the current challenges faced in the teaching of this course, such as the rapid development of sensor technology, the increasing demand for practical skills in the robotics field, and the need to integrate interdisciplinary knowledge. To address these challenges, several reform measures are proposed. Firstly, the curriculum content is updated to include the latest developments in sensor technology and its applications in robotics. This involves integrating advanced topics such as intelligent sensors, MEMS technology, and wireless sensor networks into the syllabus. Secondly, the teaching methods are diversified. Interactive teaching methods, such as project - based learning and case - based learning, are adopted to enhance students’ practical abilities and problem - solving skills. In addition, the use of virtual simulation software and laboratory experiments is emphasized to provide students with hands - on experience in sensor design, testing, and integration. Thirdly, the assessment system is reformed to focus more on students’ comprehensive abilities. In addition to traditional exams, project reports, laboratory performance, and team collaboration are also included in the assessment criteria. The implementation of these reform measures has achieved positive results. Students’ interest in the course has increased, their understanding of sensor principles and detection technology has been deepened, and their practical skills and innovative thinking have been significantly improved. This reform provides valuable references for the teaching of similar courses in other engineering majors and contributes to the cultivation of high - quality talents in the field of robotics engineering to meet the needs of strategic emerging industries.
