Abstract: Metalworking practice is an important basic practical training course for engineering majors to link theory with practice, and a required course for mechanical major in agricultural engineering and engineering major in non- agricultural engineering. This paper takes the current situation of practical teaching in metalworking practice centre of Anhui Agricultural University College of Engineering as an example. The shortcomings of the current metalworking practice are analysed. A reform measure is proposed in five aspects, including teaching safety, teaching mode, assessment method, teaching team and teaching hardware, to provide reference for promoting the reform of metalworking practice in provincial agricultural and forestry colleges.

Key words: Metalworking practice, Teaching reform, Practice
