Abstract

Modern teaching of engineering graphics is undergoing major reform, and teaching procedures are being changed which regarding the student as the center, and the student employment’s ability request as the guidance, reconstruct and organize the learning content including curriculum structure design, project choice and design, teaching activity implementation and teaching media choice. Innovative thinking is one of important attainment, in which the divergent thinking and imagery thinking are the main and basic contents. The essential thinking mode used in engineering graphics learning is exactly the divergent and imagery thinking. Therefore engineering graphics education plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating the innovative thinking. Nowadays to cultivate the innovative attainment of engineering undergraduate has become a primary task of the higher education reform in China. Consequently the teaching way in engineering graphics is changing not only to teach drawing skill but most important to cultivate the innovative thinking.
