Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence have posed new challenges to the teaching methods of university courses, and the reform of course teaching is urgently needed. At present, there are problems in the econometrics courses for graduate students in universities, such as a mismatch between theory and practical application, uneven levels of student proficiency under the requirements of disciplinary integration, disconnect between teaching content and social practical needs, and unreasonable assessment methods. Therefore, based on the STEAM educational philosophy, this article proposes five thoughts and practical strategies: carry out differentiated project practices and subject competitions driven by problems, appropriately group students, and improve their innovative and practical problem-solving abilities; Emphasize interdisciplinary teaching methods, design situational teaching cases that integrate multiple disciplines based on economic and social hotspots, and enhance students'interdisciplinary thinking ability; Multidimensional interactive teaching to improve the effectiveness of interactive learning; Supplementing with art, emphasizing the practicality and aesthetics of learning outcomes, integrating teaching content with cutting-edge econometric methods; Enrich assessment methods, increase the proportion of process based assessments, involve multiple parties in assessments, and improve the fairness and scientificity of assessments.
