ABSTRACT

The existing Internet of Things technology course teaching generally has problems such as the disconnection between theory and practice, and the lack of students' hands-on ability and innovative thinking. To this end, this paper introduces the integration of industry and education based on the concept of outcome-based education (OBE), and solves the limitations of the traditional teaching model by deeply combining theoretical teaching with industry practice. This paper adopts the OBE education concept, combined with project-driven learning (PBL) and competition projects, and introduces the AIRIOT education platform to provide rich Internet of Things technology learning resources and practical environment, so as to promote students to master the application of Internet of Things technology in actual projects. In addition, through the course design that connects with industry needs, it ensures that students can acquire practical skills during their school years and improve their employment competitiveness. The integration of industry and education with the introduction of OBE education concepts has effectively improved students' practical ability and innovative thinking. Through refined teaching content arrangement and real-time feedback mechanism, students' hands-on ability, teamwork ability, interdisciplinary integration ability and problem-solving ability have been significantly enhanced, and the course evaluation indicators have also shown positive changes. The experimental results show that student D performs well in all innovation evaluation dimensions, with high scores for technology application innovation and solution uniqueness (10 and 9 points, respectively), and the innovation display score also reaches the full score of 10 points. The final overall innovation score is 9.67, showing that he has strong innovative thinking and technology application capabilities in the project.
