Abstract: This paper introduces the experiment teaching reform of mechatronics specialty based on the combination of virtual and reality, and expounds the necessity of virtual simulation experiment. Aiming at improving the basic engineering practice ability and self-learning inquiry ability of college students, the teaching content of comprehensive inquiry experiment is designed. This paper explores the open teaching mode of integrating on-line (virtual) and off-line (real) experiments, and the students cooperate, discuss and report in groups. A group assessment method combining teacher evaluation, group member mutual evaluation and individual group contribution adjustment coefficient is established. The teaching effect shows that the experimental teaching reform has improved the students'participation, the students'comprehensive practical ability and the teaching team's professional level.
