Abstract

Traditional experiment teaching often follows a rigid format, leading to a disconnect between theoretical knowledge and engineering practice and failing to effectively cultivate students’ systems engineering thinking and comprehensive practical abilities. To better stimulate students’ enthusiasm for experiments and enhance their teamwork and engineering skills, this study presents a comprehensive experiment course for hydrophone array-based direction finding and localization. The course takes the typical engineering scenario of underwater target situational awareness as the backdrop and incorporates the theoretical knowledge from Underwater Acoustic Direction Finding and Target Localization. It is structured around four core practical components (i.e., theoretical simulation, equipment operation, a lake test experiment, and capability expansion), aiming to deepen students’ understanding of fundamental theories while improving their hands-on innovation skills and awareness. This research contributes to the reform of practical teaching for Underwater Acoustic Direction Finding and Target Localization, as well as the cultivation of high-quality professionals in underwater acoustic engineering.
