ABSTRACT

Currently, China's higher education reform is focusing on the important direction of "new engineering" construction, especially for local applied universities, which is the core goal of their development. The basic guarantee for achieving this goal is the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) educational philosophy. In this context, as a key theoretical course in the field of architecture, the Principles of Architectural Design has also begun to actively explore and practice the teaching mode of OBE. The content of architectural design courses has strong practicality and is the cornerstone of the formation of students' engineering design abilities and professional qualities. For students majoring in architecture, it has a dual significance of being an introduction to design and a theoretical foundation platform for the construction profession. Finally, the research results indicate that after the curriculum reform, the attendance rate of students in the classroom has significantly improved, with all students attending classes in 2023, accounting for 75% of the total class hours. Moreover, the participation rate in the competition has also significantly increased, from only 7% of students participating in the competition in 2022 to 23% in 2023.
