以能力培养为导向的基于工厂化生产实践指导的“发酵工程”教学研究与应用

"发酵工程"是生物技术和生物工程等专业的核心基础课程,应用性非常强,其工艺流程包括上游的菌种和培养基,中游发酵动力学和过程控制,以及下游的发酵产物分离制备与精制等。在实际生产过程中,工艺流程的每个阶段都是理论知识在生产实践中的具体应用。授课过程中,如果教师只介绍教材的基础理论知识,而不结合具体生产实践,学生不仅难以掌握知识点,而且对利用发酵工程生产产品的工艺流程没有深刻的认识,更不知道如何去应用理论知识指导实际生产。由于发酵工程应用的重要性,发酵工程教学质量的好坏直接影响学生的专业素质与就业情况。因此,本课程组开展了基于生产实践指导的发酵工程教学方法的研究与应用,在发酵工程课程教学中,结合生产实践中的科研经验,总结教材的理论知识与生产实践的结合点,使教材中较为抽象、复杂的理论知识具体化。这样不仅激发了学生的学习兴趣,加强了学生对理论知识的理解,更为重要的是,结合实际科研、生产过程中曾面临的问题,引导学生如何利用基础理论知识去解决这些问题,这种授人以渔的方法对于指导学生的科研和毕业后的生产实践具有重要的应用价值。

Research and application of Fermentation Engineering teaching method on a factory production scale aimed at practice ability training

Fermentation Engineering is one of the core course of Biotechnology and Bioengineering major, being characteristics of practice. The process of fermentation involves in the strain and culture medium, the bacterial seed preparation, fermentation kinetics, process control, production, separation and refining of fermentation products. During the actual production process, each step depends on the specific fermentation theory. If only the basic theory of textbooks is presented, without combining with production practice in the course, the students not only have difficulty in study, but also have no deep understanding of the fermentation process of products. Moreover, they do not know how to combine the theoretical knowledge with the actual production. Thus, the teaching method of Fermentation Engineering course based on the guidance of practice can stimulate the learning interest of the students. Meantime, it can strengthen their understanding of theoretical knowledge. More importantly, the methods used to solve the problems in the actual production process, have important application value to the students in their scientific researches.
