1、 Current Status of Skills Competition for Mechatronics Projects

（1） Mechatronics Skills Competition and Students' Ability Level
Mechatronics technology is an independent discipline that integrates microelectronics, computer technology, mechanical technology, and other technologies. The main courses involved include: Maintenance Electrician, Electrical TechnologyPLCTechnology, sensing and detection, pneumatic hydraulic technology, configuration technology, etc. The skills competition project covers most of the professional knowledge in the field of mechatronics, including mechanical installation, electrical circuit design, gas circuit design, sensing and detection technology, frequency conversion technology, and morePLCProgramming and other related skills make the mechatronics skills competition a comprehensive application of knowledge from multiple courses. In the competition, participants are required to complete the assembly, programming, debugging, and operation of the equipment according to the requirements of the task book. Therefore, this requires students to possess various professional knowledge and flexibly apply this knowledge to practical operations. In the competition, students are not only required to use different design methods and procedures to complete the standard hard conditions, but also to independently innovate and complete their works. Therefore, this further tests the contestants' ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practice, cultivate their ability to analyze, solve, and innovate problems, and lay a solid foundation for their future employment. Through competition training, students have made significant improvements in the application of theoretical knowledge and the solution of practical problems, with a more complete knowledge structure, stronger professional abilities, and stronger self-learning abilities. In future work, one can easily grasp these knowledge and skills to better solve technical problems encountered in the workplace, and companies will also prefer such students, giving priority to those who have won awards in skill competitions.
（2） The Method of Mechatronics Skills Competition and Practical Teaching
Based on the current equipment resources of various vocational colleges, most of them have introduced the competition equipment required for the competition and equipped professional internship guidance teachers. However, the application rate of competition equipment in actual teaching is not high. In order to fully utilize competition resources and guide teaching through competitions, the practical teaching objectives of technology application ability are first determined with technology application ability as the main body, and significant reforms are made in class scheduling and teaching methods. The evaluation methods and requirements in competitions are applied to general teaching to train students' thinking ability and practical problem-solving ability. In teaching, achieve the integration of theory and practice, synchronize theory and skills, combine knowledge and skills, and fully utilize the equipment and training methods of skill competitions.
On the other hand, having a team of experienced and capable teachers is also a prerequisite for ensuring high-quality practical teaching. Teachers who participate in skill competitions not only improve their professional comprehensive abilities through training, but also consolidate their professional knowledge and skill teaching level. In terms of guiding participating students, teachers who participate in skill competitions have richer practical experience and more flexible application of knowledge than those who do not participate.
2、 Analysis of the Results of the Mechatronics Skills Competition
Skills competition is a way to advance“Work study integration, school enterprise cooperation, on-the-job internship”The construction of the platform promotes“Dual teacher type”The construction of the teaching staff and the effective way to build practical training bases. The mechatronics skills competition is a team project that requires a work to be completed by a team. Based on the expertise of each participating student, divide the work reasonably, unite and cooperate, and jointly analyze a reasonable design plan.
In recent years, with the development of high-tech, the competition content of skills competitions has gradually deepened, and the number of projects has increased (up to)81 The scale is gradually increasing, and the organizational management system is also gradually improving. The deepening of competition content inevitably requires the continuous improvement of students' comprehensive quality, which requires them to acquire more professional knowledge and more solid technical abilities in their daily training. The diversity of the competition and the strictness of the craftsmanship requirements indirectly reflect the high-quality requirements of enterprises for skilled talents.
The new processes, technologies, standards, and specifications proposed in skill competitions are in sync with the current requirements of enterprises.
3、 The significance and methods of transforming the results of mechatronics skills competitions into teaching resources
Skills competitions are not independent of teaching, but are closely related to teaching, and teaching and competitions complement each other. To transform the results of skill competitions into teaching resources, the following measures should be taken: organizing the results, theoretical knowledge, process specifications, and summarizing practical experience. Adequate preparation should be made before the start of the competition, and active summarization should be carried out after the competition. Efforts should be made to transform the experience of the competition into effective teaching resources. Participating students and teachers will apply their skills from the competition to daily practical training and teaching, improve teaching procedures, and enhance teaching quality. The competition is a microcosm of the demand for high-tech by enterprises, reflecting the direction of talent demand in today's society, accurately grasping the concept of the competition, and integrating the spirit, purpose, rules, and new skills of the competition into teaching.
Teachers should have a teaching plan and students should have a learning task book, which should be aligned with the skills competition and organized according to the requirements of the competition to form the school's teaching resource library.
Always implement the competition concept of the competition and strictly follow the assessment system of the competition in the formulation. So, what is a new teaching method? The teaching reform of vocational schools in Ningbo is worth learning from. Combine theoretical and professional knowledge of each major, with dedicated course teachers responsible for each major, develop several teaching projects, and allocate teaching hours and progress reasonably for each project. Integrate the theoretical and practical courses of each major into several teaching projects, adopting a circular teaching system where each class is divided into small groups of several students for cyclic teaching.
Each project is equipped with a professional course teacher for full-time teaching, and each training room is equipped with an internship guidance teacher and several students who have participated in skill competitions. Students who study follow the project one by one and can switch to another project every two to three weeks, which also increases their interest in learning. For difficult problems that cannot be solved, guidance from the instructor and participating students can be provided nearby. Regularly organize skill competitions to promote learning and practice.
summary
The transformation of the results of the mechatronics skills competition not only improves the enthusiasm of participants, but also points out a new direction for teaching reform. The establishment of new teaching resources has enriched the professional knowledge of competition students and participating instructors, improved classroom teaching effectiveness, increased the utilization of competition equipment, provided opportunities for each student to exercise, and cultivated their professional abilities.
In short, the transformation of the results of the mechatronics skills competition into teaching resources is a part of its innovative development. The successful transformation has promoted the reform and development of practical teaching, and also pointed out the direction for the development of other majors.
