Abstract: In the context of the construction of new engineering disciplines, there are still problems in the reform of engineering education, such as insufficient student innovation ability, incomplete knowledge system, and lack of scientific evaluation standards. This article addresses these issues by reforming the teaching of the mechanical design fundamentals course, studying the training path, constructing a course teaching knowledge system, improving the evaluation system, and applying the OBE-CDIO engineering education concept to the course. With a focus on results, students are encouraged to learn and solve problems through active exploration and self construction in teaching activities, making them the main body of teaching activities. The reform results indicate that students'innovation ability and teamwork ability have been improved, and their grades and classroom satisfaction have also been enhanced, providing strong support for cultivating high-quality talents in the engineering field.
