Construction and practice of virtual simulation experimental teaching for mineral processing——Taking Mineral Discipline of CSU as a case
Focusing on the requirements for professional talents in mining industry with the development of the new era,and taking whole-cycle engineering thinking and competency as the aim,this paper would use virtual simulation as the teaching method to break through the restraints of high temperature,high risk and high cost in mining industry to solve such difficult problems,which is hard to be carried out in traditional experimental teaching because it cannot start whole-process experiment and make extreme working operation.The paper suggests that scientific achievement be merged into experimental teaching,organically integrating database technology,virtual simulation,expert system and intelligent algorithm.Through this virtual lab,students can realize independent learning,such as subject selection,exploring learning,process design,equipment construction,operation and debugging,and so on.As a result,students can design process flow,production equipment and operation parameters compatible with the characteristics of mineral resources,and realistically experience extraordinary situation in producing process.Thus,it is beneficial to the students to be cultivated as outstanding talents in mining industry with diligence,creativity,international view,and competitiveness.
