Abstract: “Principles and Technologies of Heat Treatment” is not only a core course in the field of metals but also a course closely integrated with engineering practice. This course has been using the syllabus from the last century and as a result, the teaching content is obsolete. Additionally, because the course is “theoretical, metaphysical, comprehensive and practical”, it is difficult for students to master the contents and to solve heat treatment issues in practice. Based on the requirements for talent training in Emerging Engineering Edusation, the course content needs to be systematically reformed. Firstly, the core knowledge should be extracted, which is the principle of solid-state phase transformation; additionally, its teaching should be deepen in order to improve the theoretical level of students. Secondly, the traditional heat treatment processes of steels should be simplified, making students master the heat treatment processes more systematically. Finally, the newly developed heat treatment processes, as well as the phase transformation and heat treatment process of other important metals, should be integrated. This can further help students deeply understand the principle of solid-state phase transformation. Importantly, students′ innovative thinking is cultivated, so that they have the ability to solve heat treatment problems.
