Practice and Exploration of Discrete Mathematics Teaching in Applied Undergraduate Colleges Under the Background of New Engineering

“New Engineering” cultivates interdisciplinary compound talents, with solid professional knowledge and computational thinking ability. “Discrete Mathematics” is the core course for developing computational thinking skills. Under the background of new engineering, from the aspects of updating teaching concepts, rationally setting teaching content, reforming teaching models, optimizing curriculum evaluation systems, and improving teachers’ ability and quality, the “discrete mathematics” course is practiced and explored, in order to improve students’ computational thinking ability such as abstract generalization and representation, formal reasoning and proof, model construction and solution, divergent thinking, etc., and adapt to the teaching of “discrete mathematics” in applied undergraduate colleges.
