Abstract: “Integration of courses and competitions”has become an important path to promote the cultivation of outstanding engineers. However, the educational effect has not been fully demonstrated in practice. Taking the Excellent Engineering College of Ningbo University of Engineering as the research object, this study systematically analyzes the integration mechanism of course and competition from three levels: subject, process, and guarantee. It is found that counselors have unique advantages and potential value in promoting collaborative education between course and competition. Research has shown that the deep intervention of counselors can not only effectively compensate for the lack of energy on the teacher side and the lack of motivation on the student side, but also achieve a systematic effect of“promoting competition through classes, promoting teaching through competition, and cultivating students through competition”through the integration of extracurricular activities and social practice.
