Abstract
With the development policies and plans for vocational education appearing, modular curriculum in improving the vocational education and training system is more important to improve the education quality. The concept of module was introduced in the paper. The modular curriculum was explained by the analogy with the system which is composed of modules with different functions and characteristics. The characteristics of modular curriculum including functionality, interchangeability, flexibility and applicability were introduced and discussed. Taking automobile major as an example, the modules of the curriculums were studied and divided. The background and the career analysis of the students were investigated and researched on automobile engineering. Especially, the professional course modules were studied according to professional background and career analysis of the students. Curriculums in the professional modules were divided into four parts including Basic technology courses for specialty group, Vocational and technical skills courses, Professional comprehensive modular courses, and Innovative practical modular courses. Among the course modules, the professional comprehensive modular courses and the innovative practical modular courses are designed and divided into specific courses, and the specific courses were firstly designed with the type of micro lectures.
