Abstract: In order to thoroughly practice the "Excellent Engineer Education and Training plan" and solve the problem of "how to quickly transform the theoretical knowledge into the ability of students to solve practical engineering problems", this paper proposes teaching reform measures by using the "flipped class" type for theoretical teaching and the "project-based teaching" type for practical teaching. Through the decomposition of the test tasks in the scientific research tasks of the instructor, the theoretical knowledge of "Sensor and engineering testing technology foundation" course is used to solve the sub-test tasks in the scientific research tasks, and train the students' ability to apply the theoretical knowledge to solve practical engineering problems. After a semester's exploration, not only the test task of "plasma performance diagnosis" project was successfully solved, but also the learning effect of students was significantly improved, which verified the significant effect of "project-based teaching" method in the course of Sensor and Engineering Testing Technology foundation.
