Construction of virtual teaching-research section for agricultural machinery specialties in context of emerging engineering and new agricultural science integration

Under background of emerging engineering and new agricultural science integration, taking construction of a virtual teaching-research section of agricultural mechanization and automation specialty（abbreviated as agricultural machinery specialty）as investigation object, by analyzing key elements of construction of virtual teaching-research section of agricultural machinery specialty, a specific path of constructing virtual teaching-research section was proposed．There were five aspects in path, to clarify construction objectives and top-level planning, build a platform management system of platform-organization-resources-coordination and interaction, set up a high-quality faculty team based on concept of cross-fertilization, enrich contents, methods, and activities of teaching-research, and set up an evaluation system and a program of continuous improvement．Analyzing of virtual teaching-research section of agricultural machinery specialty has concluded that characteristics and advantages of its construction were to promote cross-fusion of disciplines, innovate teaching and research modes, and perfect improvement and updating mechanism．Construction of a virtual teaching-research section of agricultural machinery provides strong support for promoting development of high quality and high level of teaching-research and cultivating professional talents．
