Abstract:The Single-Chip Microcomputer (SCM) experiment course requires students to realize the design and development of simple projects through the combination of software and hardware. It focuses on the cultivation of students’ practical ability, innovation spirit and engineering development ability. To meet the requirements of “Plan for Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers” and Engineering Education Accreditation, the curriculum is reformed in three aspects: experimental platform; experimental contents and teaching approach. An advanced and open experimental platform is built. A hierarchical and progressive experimental content system is applied. And the student-oriented teaching method is adopted. The implementation of new teaching method is demonstrated taking an example of a comprehensive project “Design of an electronic cipher lock”. It has been proved practically that the reform of the course arouses students’ enthusiasm, cultivates their ability to solve complex engineering problems and achieves remarkable teaching results.
