Aiming at cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial talents,we studied the reform on the platform construction and implementation of the practical teaching for thermal energy engineering.A hierarchical and modularized practical teaching system was created for thermal energy engineering,and the teaching organization mode was implemented with open laboratory by online reservation.Moreover,elicitation,discussion,and participative teaching methods were explored in the course teaching.It turns out that the students' integrated qualities have been remarkably improved,including engineering practice capacity,autonomous learning ability,innovative thinking and innovation ability.
