Exploration and practical research on teaching reforms of engineering practice center based on 3I‐CDIO‐OBE talent‐training mode

Abstract Education leads to engineering and engineering depends on practice. The Engineering Training Practice Center is a Chinese institution for engineering practice teaching to improve students' practical and engineering capabilities. It also empowers students with innovative abilities and comprehensive engineering literacy. With an increasing number of new challenges and situations, innovating and reforming engineering practice education to meet the development needs has become an important topic in current higher engineering education. On the basis of outcomes‐based education (OBE) and conceive–design–implement–operate (CDIO) education models, combined with emerging engineering education (integration, inheritance, and innovation 3I), a 3I‐CDIO‐OBE talent‐training model for Chinese engineering education is proposed, and the attributes of general, professional, and innovative education were fully accounted for in the engineering practice teaching. A multilevel + multidisciplinary + innovative and practical engineering teaching system has been successfully constructed, which has started achieving the goals, paving a way of thinking to actively explore the engineering practice teaching reforms in colleges and universities.
