ABSTRACT

Under the background of engineering education professional certification, the teaching reform and assessment method inspired by the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy are significant for universities to improve the quality of engineering education. "Materials for Mechanical Engineering" is an essential foundational course for the students majoring in mechanical engineering. To improve the teaching quality of "Materials for Mechanical Engineering" and align with the requirements of engineering professional accreditation, the teaching reform is explored in this work, including enriching the course contents and optimizing the teaching mode. Meanwhile, the assessment method based on OBE is also investigated. The assessment component and evaluation criteria for "Materials for Mechanical Engineering" course are proposed.
