Abstract: Outcome-based education is one of the core concepts of current higher education reform and has significant guiding significance for the teaching of engineering courses. The course of material forming technology basic is one of the core courses in the major of mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. There are problems in teaching such as unclear goal positioning, insufficient focus on content, relatively single methods, and emphasis on results rather than processes in assessment. This article is based on the OBE concept and proposes a smart teaching strategy for the material forming technology basic course from four aspects: teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching mode, and assessment evaluation. The aim is to provide reference for relevant educators.

Key words: OBE concept, Material forming technology basic, Smart teaching, Integration of industry and education, Teaching strategies, Reflection on practice
