Exploration and Practice of Carrying Forward the Spirit of Scientists from the Perspective of Curriculum Thought and Politics—Taking Engineering Ethics as an Example

随着我国经济建设的飞速发展，各类工程所面临的社会、环境和文化冲突也日趋明显，其根源在于工程技术人员的工程伦理观念淡薄。在这一背景下，越来越多的高等院校把《工程伦理》作为研究生公共必修课。如何构建适合该课程的思政体系并建设思政与理论深度融合的教学方法是值得深入研究的关键问题。本文以华中科技大学工科专业研究生公共课《工程伦理》为例，从该课程的教学实际与存在的典型问题出发，重点讨论了基于“弘扬科学家精神”的思政元素凝练与应用策略。在此基础上进一步以“生物医药工程中的伦理问题”这一章节为例，深入讨论了基于OBE教育理念并巧妙融入课程思政的教学内容设计与教学方法创新。该研究对高校《工程伦理》的课程体系建设与提高具有较好的参考意义。Along with the rapid development of China’s economic construction, various social, environmental, and cultural problems associated with diverse engineering projects become increasingly highlighted. The root cause of this phenomenon lies in the weak concept of engineering ethics of engineering technicians. Under this circumstance, more and more colleges and universities have launched a public compulsory course named Engineering Ethics for all the graduate students. How to construct the ideological and political system suitable for this course and how to develop the teaching approach integrating the theory study and it is essential and being worth of further investigation. This paper starts with the teaching practice and typical problems of the course of Engineering Ethics at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and then focuses on condensation and application strategies of ideological and political elements based on “promoting the spirit of scientists”. Based on these, taking the chapter “Ethical Issues in Biomedical Engineering” as an example, this paper deeply discusses the teaching content design and teaching method innovation based on OBE education concept and cleverly integrated into curriculum ideology and politics. This research proffers good reference significance for the construction and improvement of the curriculum system of Engineering Ethics in universities.
