ABSTRACT

With the rapid advancement and pervasive application of sensor technology, the Sensor Application Technology curriculum has become increasingly crucial in the pedagogical frameworks of higher vocational institutions. Despite its importance, the current instructional practices within this domain still exhibit several challenges, particularly the disconnection between theory and practice, insufficient faculty expertise, and a singular course evaluation system. This study, through a comprehensive analysis of the existing issues within the curriculum, proposes a series of optimization strategies, including the enhancement of the integration between theoretical instruction and practical application, the strengthening of faculty capabilities, and the innovation of the course evaluation system. It is argued that improvements in curriculum design, the adoption of updated pedagogical methods, and the intensification of practical components can substantially augment students' hands-on skills and holistic competence, thus better aligning educational outcomes with the evolving needs of the industry. Furthermore, an optimized evaluation system would provide a more comprehensive assessment of students' overall abilities, laying a solid foundation for their future professional careers. The findings of this study offer significant insights for the reform of Sensor Application Technology curricula in higher vocational education institutions.
