Abstract: The traditional experiment method emphasizes the content orientation of the experiment and tends to weaken the ability training. Hence, a production-oriented ACT experiment teaching method integrating EDT is proposed. An experimental teaching reform is carried out, which is embedded with EDT training. Self-made experimental platform as the carrier, comprehensive and design experimental projects with the characteristics of complex engineering problems are constructed. And detailed methods are based on“conception-design-implementation-operation”. The experimental teaching reform in the past three years has shown that students have an increased sense of intuitive acquisition of ACT experiments, and their EDT has been trained. ACT experiments have contributed to cultivating the ability to solve complex engineering problems.
