Abstract: In the information age, the blended teaching has been widely accepted and applied in colleges and universities. Based on the theory of educational ecology and the outcome-based education (OBE), this paper tries to take college English as an example to implement this teaching mode based on SPOC. Blended teaching design was proposed and a case teaching design was illustrated in detail to show how to put the blended teaching theory into practise. This research employed experimental class to check the effectiveness of the blended teaching. Three tests were carried out during the teaching experiment, they are pre-test, middle test and final test respectively. After the comparing the testing sores of the former two tests by using statistic software SPSS, it is found out that there is no significant improvement for students’ testing scores. Apart from the discussion from the author’s and other scholars perspective, interviews with students from experimental class’ teachers and professionals from Teaching Quality Department were conducted to probe into the in-depth reasons accountable for this phenomenon. After finding out the causes that may explain the unsatisfactory testing results of the second time, teacher and students made some adjustments in the next period of teaching in order to achieve expected academic record. The testing scores were significantly higher than the previous two tests. The research results show that the teaching effect of blended teaching for freshmen requires a period of time to be obvious. Firstly, Chinese students’ autonomous learning ability, their language learning styles and strategies and their computer skills can directly or indirectly affect the teaching effects. Secondly, teachers’ online guidance and supervision, teachers’ attitude towards blended teaching, their level of information technology and their understanding of blended teaching all have certain impact towards the teaching outcome. The corresponding suggestions are put forward to raise the teaching quality of blended teaching mode. Firstly, attention should be paid to the needs of students and promote online autonomous learning. Secondly, the needs of teachers should never be ignored and teaching guidance should be given to those in need. Finally, teachers' assessment mechanism and teaching management should be improved.

Abstract: The topics of Evaluation, Certification and Accreditation of Educational Institutions, are very necessary to work in Higher Education in Industrial Engineering based on ISO 9001: 2015. The aim is to achieve the accreditation of the ITSLP educational program Areas of program support such as Planning and Maintenance to All Areas, Curriculum and Evaluation of Learning, Sport and Culture, School Control, Academic Engagement of Students themselves, Computer Center, Library, Human Resources, Basic Sciences, Linking with Public and Private Companies, Research and Technological Development, adequate and transparent management of resources, gender equity, mobility, sustainability, infrastructure and equipment, and communication with parents, and respect throughout the educational community, the preparation and academic development of teachers, the efficiency, relevance and impact of students as a social service, residence and even the impact of graduates in their field of work. On an ISO basis, with methodology of complying with the 10 CACEI categories, with development of compliance with them and with the result of Accreditation of the educational program. The results were successful, as the accreditation of the program was achieved, which makes it certified to offer clients, in this case higher education students, as well as other external clients such as employers and other education agents. And feedback was obtained from graduates and heads of departments that serve students with the leadership of managers and administrators.

Abstract: In the process of "internationalization" of higher education, especially engineering majors pay attention to the cultivation of engineering practice ability and innovation ability. The concept of the CDIO model is very consistent with the goal of internationalization of talent training. The construction and practice of the CDIO-based experimental teaching system can well inherit and innovate the CDIO concept, strengthen the openness and innovation of students' thinking, and focus on innovation ability, professional core competence, and communication Cultivation of the ability to express and teamwork and improve the internationalization of talents. Pay attention to the development of experimental teaching in the implementation process of professional talent training, build laboratory implementation based on the concept of "experimental reuse", and pay attention to integrating the second-level project and the first-level project when constructing the experimental curriculum system to achieve nesting between projects Sexuality, forming mutual support, embodies the "modular" design of the laboratory. Whether it is the construction of the experimental management system or the implementation of the laboratory, the course system is ultimately required to be implemented. According to the connotation of digital engineering, combined with the concept of CDIO engineering, taking industrial digitalization and digital industrialization as the direction, adhere to the cultivation of CDIO core literacy training, and build "intelligence" Media Technology Curriculum Framework System".
