Teaching discussion of traffic planning and simulation software course based on the students'side
Traffic and transportation engineering is a comprehensive subject combining technology,practice and application.The practical training plays an important role during the whole teaching process.This paper conducted a questionnaire survey for postgraduates who major in traffic and trans-portation engineering.Then we analyze their professional background and learning needs for the practi-cal training course of transportation planning and simulation software.Then,the teaching contents and methods is improved for the training course.It mainly includes strengthening application training based on the software module teaching,establishing the project case libraries and designing project and case teaching methods,and facilitating the resources sharing with the smart teaching platform.Through the application evaluation of the course teaching,it is found that the overall satisfaction of students is rela-tively high.Students'mastery of the main functional modules of the software and the project application ability have been greatly improved.Meanwhile,their learning ability,professional technology and practical application ability have also been increased.In summary,the traffic planning and simulation software course based on the students has a good teaching effectiveness.
