Abstract: The generalized geometry shape analysis method, with which the core contents of
the engineering graphics curriculum are divided into five modules, i.e. geometric elements,
geometric structures, functional structures, component assemblies and knowledge and skills, is
believed to be an exploratory and innovative method for the curriculum reform. The engineering
graphics curriculum reform scheme based on the generalized geometry shape analysis method for
the higher vocational education and its key points for the realization are introduced, preliminary
exploration and practice have been conducted and good results are achieved. Practice results show
that this method can effectively enhance the teaching effectiveness for the graphics basis and its
applications, and is helpful for the rapid occupational adaptation, the logical thinking formation
and the development of the innovation capacity.

Key words: engineering graphics, curriculum reform, generalized geometric shape analysis;
modularization
