Abstract: From the point of view of practical training, according to the requirements of the
"excellence engineers training plan", metalworking training courses, and "the reduction gear box"
drawing project, this paper proposes an improved teaching method which takes task as driving force,
and the students as the main body of the teaching method in the engineering graphics practice
teaching process. This method combines the knowledge and practice of engineering graphics, and
puts this practice in whole university teaching. It is helpful to cultivate the engineering consciousness
and innovation ability of the students.
