融合MATLAB程序设计的路基路面教学改革

Teaching Reform of Road Subgrade and Pavement Engineering Course Integrated with MATLAB Programming

摘要: 道路工程正向着智能化、绿色化方向发展，传统的人才培养方式已经逐渐不适应新时代道路工程专业学生培养目标。通过对路基路面工程课程教学中存在的问题分析，提出将MATLAB程序语言融入路基路面课程的教学改革方案，借助MATLAB强大的计算、绘图及可视化功能，以路基路面课程中的沥青路面结构设计、实验数据处理、边坡稳定性验算、挡土墙设计等涉及复杂计算的教学难点，探索在占用1~2个课时条件下融合编程语言的教学方案，采用小组作业形式，指导学生通过MATLAB语言进行沥青路面设计软件开发、设计程序编制、试验数据处理等任务。研究成果显示，该教学改革方案在成绩改善、学生升学率、创新能力提升等方面发挥了较大的作用，同时基于教学成果，获得了可用于教学的设计软件，可以用来辅助检查学生作业。通过在路基路面课程教学中融合MATLAB程序设计，可以提升学生对传统设计方法的理解和应用能力，激发其对计算机语言类课程的学习兴趣，实现“用现代化工具解决专业问题的能力”的人才培养目标。

Abstract: Road engineering is developing in the direction of intelligence and greening, and the traditional talent training mode has gradually failed to adapt to the training objectives of road engineering students in the new era. By analyzing the problems existing in the teaching, this paper puts forward the teaching reform scheme of integrating MATLAB program into subgrade and pavement engineering course. This scheme targets the teaching difficulties involving complex calculations in the subgrade and pavement engineering course, such as asphalt pavement structure design, experimental data processing, slope stability checking and retaining wall design. By leveraging the powerful calculation, drawing and visualization functions of MATLAB, in the form of group assignments, students are guided to carry out tasks such as software development for asphalt pavement design, programming of design programs, and processing of test data through the MATLAB language under the condition of occupying 1~2 class hours. The research results show that the teaching reform program has played a great role in improving students’ performance, promoting students’ enrollment rate and innovation ability. At the same time, based on the teaching results, the design software for subgrade and pavement engineering teaching is obtained, which can be used to assist in checking students’ homework. By integrating MATLAB program design into the teaching of subgrade and pavement engineering, students’ understanding and application ability of traditional design methods can be improved, and their interest in computer language courses can be stimulated, so as to achieve the talent training goal of “the ability to solve professional problems with modern tools”.
