Abstract

With development of information technology, knowledge management has become an indispensable matter in the field of academia. Colleges and universities have plenty of opportunities to use knowledge management to support their tasks. Knowledge management not only manages the knowledge and information technology inside and outside the organization, but also needs to carry out knowledge management on the organization, such as on organizational structure, human resources, organizational culture and other aspects, in order to achieve the established knowledge management objectives. Knowledge management is multi-faceted. A knowledge management system is required to integrate multi-faceted knowledge management. Based on the questionnaire collected, students’ implicit barriers and special requirements in their self-learning were analyzed and found. Specifically according to the three-stage EDIS spiral model proposed by Sun et al. in 2018, there are three stages, which are development of research plan, implementation of research and dissemination of research results, and then we designed the function module for every stage. Combined the relationships among members of the organization, including teacher-student relationship and classmate relationship, with the users’ specific needs, we designed this scientific and reasonable KM system which is suitable for science and engineering laboratory. The results show that our system can help laboratory members to use knowledge resources efficiently and improve the level of knowledge management of personal and laboratory in a certain extent.
