寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)《戲劇概論》、《過程工程項目》、《設(shè)計、制造及項目》三門課程成功入選第二批國家級一流本科課程！

今天（4月20日），隨著教育部網(wǎng)站相關(guān)認定結(jié)果公示結(jié)束，寧諾人文社科學(xué)院和理工學(xué)院的三門全英文課程躋身國家級一流本科課程榜單。截至目前，寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)已有五門課程入選，加上此前學(xué)校財務(wù)管理專業(yè)被評為國家級一流本科專業(yè)建設(shè)點，寧諾已成為唯一一所同時擁有國家級一流本科課程和一流本科專業(yè)建設(shè)點的中外合作大學(xué)。

《戲劇概論》

全球劇目，創(chuàng)作改編

該課程是寧諾人文社科學(xué)院英語專業(yè)的大二專業(yè)課程，旨在幫助學(xué)生理解戲劇如何作為一種表演媒介，在共享空間中將信息呈現(xiàn)給其他人。這門課程包含了對莎士比亞的《仲夏夜之夢》和中國戲劇《驢子》等經(jīng)典劇目的賞析，還涉及對現(xiàn)實主義戲劇《玩偶之家》等特殊類別劇目的學(xué)習(xí)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生識別和分析構(gòu)成戲劇表演的各種因素的能力。

除此之外，課程還培養(yǎng)學(xué)生創(chuàng)作能力，鼓勵學(xué)生制定導(dǎo)演計劃改編戲劇并將其付諸實踐。在學(xué)習(xí)過程中，學(xué)生們將一些動畫劇本、電影和中國傳奇故事改編為戲劇并表演。硬軟件支持上，學(xué)生的表演練習(xí)在專業(yè)的排練室進行，由經(jīng)驗豐富的劇院從業(yè)者作為指導(dǎo)老師，同時指導(dǎo)學(xué)生使用學(xué)校的攝影和錄像資源。

課程由教育與英語語言文學(xué)系系主任Derek Irwin博士擔(dān)任課程負責(zé)人。Derek Irwin博士已有六年教授該課程的經(jīng)驗，“我結(jié)合了英國諾丁漢大學(xué)和諾丁漢大學(xué)馬來西亞校區(qū)的先進做法，不斷創(chuàng)新。我很高興現(xiàn)在課程的受歡迎程度穩(wěn)步增長，還有越來越多的同學(xué)參與到課外戲劇活動中?！睋?jù)悉，近年來，此課程不斷發(fā)展，擴展了更多的全球劇目供學(xué)生們學(xué)習(xí)。

《過程工程項目》和《設(shè)計、制造及項目》

理論實踐，融會貫通

“過程工程項目”是理工學(xué)院面向化學(xué)工程與工藝專業(yè)的大三學(xué)生開設(shè)的必修課程。課程將引導(dǎo)學(xué)生加深對化工過程中穩(wěn)態(tài)及非穩(wěn)態(tài)現(xiàn)象背后所蘊含的一系列物理化學(xué)知識的理解，最終達到能夠通過融會貫通，將理論應(yīng)用于化工過程設(shè)計與操作的水平。

課程團隊的主要成員由課程負責(zé)人胡笛博士和化學(xué)與環(huán)境工程系副主任Cheng Heng Pang教授組成，團隊所有成員均持有英國高等教育學(xué)會副會士（Associate Fellow）證書。

值得一提的是，由該團隊提出的“體驗式學(xué)習(xí)理念在工程教學(xué)中的應(yīng)用”通過了英國高等教育學(xué)會評審。課程通過組織工廠參觀與利用專業(yè)模擬軟件，讓學(xué)生對車間試車與運行操作進行親身體驗，充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)主觀能動性，進而強化其對相關(guān)概念與知識的理解與應(yīng)用，將抽象化概念具象化。

理工學(xué)院另一獲評的國家級課程是針對材料成型及控制工程專業(yè)的大三學(xué)生設(shè)計的專業(yè)課程，該課程也尤為重視理論聯(lián)系實踐。例如，課程團隊在近年的教學(xué)中引入了“兩棲車輛” 項目。在項目中，學(xué)生需要設(shè)計和制造一種微型車輛，用指定的運行能量，攜帶有效載荷，可在陸地和水上或水中運行。課程團隊將項目設(shè)計過程與每周的授課聯(lián)系在一起，以便學(xué)生把知識付諸實踐。學(xué)生還將管理預(yù)算并與淘寶供應(yīng)商做成本和技術(shù)談判，還可以將復(fù)雜的3D 打印等流程外包。這一項目有助于他們完成期末項目，加深對設(shè)計工程職業(yè)的理解。

“設(shè)計、制造及項目”課程的師資隊伍力量十分強大，由Adam Rushworth博士、Kok-Hoong Wong博士、賴乃滎博士和任勇博士組成。課程負責(zé)人Adam Rushworth博士已有十多年教學(xué)經(jīng)驗，并且廣受學(xué)生的好評。“課程十分生動有趣，講師講的很系統(tǒng)，平易近人又十分友好。我很愿意一次一次參考這些課程內(nèi)容來完成我的學(xué)習(xí)，對我十分有幫助。”來自材料成型及控制工程專業(yè)的學(xué)生這樣評價說。

寧諾課程以小班化教學(xué)、合作式學(xué)習(xí)為特點，通過一系列任務(wù)引導(dǎo)學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)，并將所學(xué)知識進行創(chuàng)新性的實踐應(yīng)用，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生團隊協(xié)作、自主探索、綜合考量與決策的能力。

Three UNNC modules recognised as National Level First-Class Modules

20 April: Three English teaching modules offered by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) - "Introduction to drama", "Process Engineering Project" and "Design, Manufacture and Project" - have been successfully selected by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China as the second batch of National Level First Class Undergraduate Modules. So far, UNNC has had five National Level First Class Undergraduate Modules. Following on from the Finance, Accounting and Management BSc (Hons) being awarded National Level First Class Courses previously, UNNC has become the first and only Sino-foreign University to have both national first-level programmes and modules.

“Introduction to drama” is a compulsory module for second-year students of English Language and Literature in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. It aims to help students understand how drama functions as a medium of performance to present information to others in a shared space. The module includes an analysis of classic plays such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and the Chinese drama The Donkey, as well as the study of special categories of drama such as realist plays like A Doll's House to develop students' ability to identify and analyse the various factors that constitute a dramatic performance.

In addition, the module also aims to develop students' creativity, encourage them to develop directorial plans to adapt and put theatrical performances into practice. During the learning process, students adapt some animated scripts, movies, and Chinese legends into drama and perform them. Students' performance practice takes place in professional rehearsal rooms, and are guided by experienced theatre practitioners, who also instruct students in the use of the school's photography and video resources.

The module is convened by Dr Derek Irwin, Head of the School of Education and English, who has been teaching the module for six years. "I combine the advanced practices of the University of Nottingham and the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, and keep innovating. I am pleased to see the increasing popularity of the module and that more and more students are participating in drama activities outside of the classroom," he said. In recent years, the module has expanded to include more plays from around the world for students to study.

The “Process Engineering Project” is a compulsory module of the Faculty of Science and Engineering offered to year three Chemical Engineering students. The module guides students to deepen their understanding of the series of physical and chemical knowledge behind steady-state and non-steady-state phenomena in chemical processes, and to ultimately achieve the level of being able to apply theory to the design and operation of chemical processes through integration.

The teaching team includes Dr Di Hu, the module convener, and Professor Cheng Heng Pang, Deputy Director of the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, both have been awarded the Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in the UK.

It is worth mentioning that the idea of "experiential learning in engineering education" proposed by the team has passed the evaluation of the Higher Education Academy in the UK. Through organising factory visits, and utilising professional simulation software, the module allows students to experience testing and operation in the industry first-hand, encouraging students to take an active role in their own learning process, thereby strengthening their understanding and the application of relevant concepts and knowledge.

The other recognised module, “Design, Manufacture and Project”, is a professional module designed for year three students of Mechanical Engineering, and also emphasises the practical application of theory. For example, the module introduced the "amphibious vehicle" project to teaching over the past few years. In this project, students are required to design and manufacture a miniature vehicle that can operate on land and water or underwater, carrying a specified load with a designated amount of energy. The project design process is integrated into the weekly lectures to help students apply their knowledge. The project helps them complete their final projects and deepen their understanding of the profession.

The teaching team for the module consists of experts and scholars from different countries and regions. The module is convened by Dr Adam Rushworth, Assistant Professor in Materials and Manufacturing, who has over ten years of teaching experience and is highly regarded by students. "The module is very attractive and interesting. The teaching is systematic, approachable, and very friendly. These lectures are also very helpful," said a student of Mechanical Engineering.

UNNC emphasises small-class teaching and collaborative learning. By assigning various tasks, it helps students to develop active learning habits and skills, apply their knowledge in practical and innovative ways, improve capabilities in teamwork, independent and critical thinking, and decision making.
