ABSTRACT

Engineering education accreditation is primarily aimed at assessing the quality of engineering education, ensuring that higher education in engineering aligns with the demands of modern society, thereby cultivating more excellent engineering and technical talents. The concept of continuous teaching reform is embodied by strengthening the process-oriented assessment of engineering accreditation, deepening the standardization of curriculum teaching, and integrating the philosophy of Outcome-based Education (OBE). The reform organically integrates ideological and political education with teaching activities and simultaneously improves students' comprehensive capacity and practical ability through measures such as monitoring students' behaviors, providing personalized guidance, and implementing personalized assessment. Eventually, the teaching reform driven by engineering education accreditation helps achieve the improvement of the education system, the standardization of the teaching methodology, the optimization of the curriculum matrix, the deeper involvement of the teachers, and the more fair assessment of their teaching qualities.
