Abstract
At present, many Chinese colleges and universities have reformed or are reforming their teaching model by using MOOCs. During the cultivation of engineering talents, how well is MOOCs applied and, are there any difficulties or puzzles encountered in this process? Based on a survey and analysis of XuetangX, China’s largest MOOC platform, this paper introduces the present situation of the application of MOOCs in China’s engineering education. In the meantime, based on the relevant survey, this paper analyzes the problems encountered in the popularization and application of MOOCs in China. It also gives some suggestions on the further development and application of MOOCs in the engineering education in China.
