Abstract

The mind maps are effective in enhancing the teaching and learning outcomes in basic and integrated practice courses in university engineering majors due to their logical clarity and intuitive display features. This paper takes the application of mind maps in the professional foundation courses and the graduation design of the Building Environment and Energy Application Engineering major as an example to show the auxiliary and enhancement effects of mind maps on building the course system, knowledge framework, logical flow, and the connection between knowledge points in the teaching process. Students can achieve the learning effect of seeing both the trees and the forest during their studies with the help of mind maps, which is of great importance in creating a good classroom atmosphere, cultivating students' autonomous ability, innovative ability, and logical thinking.
