Abstract

Computer Aided Design is a comprehensive, practical, and applied foundational course offered to second-year undergraduate students majoring in human geography and urban-rural planning. With a focus on an application-oriented approach, the teaching team has actively explored various aspects such as teaching objectives, contents, and methods. This teaching reform revolves around the establishment of an integrated teaching framework, the introduction of the O-AMAS teaching model, and the enhancement of online and offline teaching platforms. Through these efforts, a multidimensional teaching model that combines software application, professional practice, and standard guidelines has been developed, forming a synergy between “in-class + out-of-class”, “online + offline”, and “academic knowledge + applied extensions”. This has effectively elevated the quality of the course instruction.
