Abstract

To achieve the overall goal of cultivating application-oriented engineering and technical talents with patriotism, social responsibility, and professional ethics through the Power Electronics Technology course, this study carries out a teaching reform based on an outcome-oriented and project-driven engineering education concept, with the organic integration of ideological and political education. It explores a teaching reform approach for the Power Electronics Technology course driven by project-based thinking and ideological-political elements under the guidance of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). Reform practices have been implemented in terms of teaching content, teaching methods, and instructional design. Guided by OBE and the principles of engineering education, teaching objectives are constructed and the teaching model is designed in a backward manner. With projects as the main thread, teaching is implemented through a blended instructional design that combines laboratory work, virtual simulation, and both online and offline learning. Practice has shown that the implementation of this teaching reform, driven by project thinking and ideological-political elements under the OBE framework, not only enriches the teaching content of the Power Electronics Technology course, but also effectively stimulates students’ interest in learning power electronics technology, enhances their practical abilities and overall competence, and provides a useful reference for further curriculum reform of the Power Electronics Technology course.
