Research on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in Software Engineering Curriculum Reform

Abstract

To meet engineering education accreditation requirements and enhance software talent training quality, this study introduces the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept into software engineering curriculum reform. Addressing issues such as ambiguous course objectives, insufficient practical components, and monolithic assessment mechanisms, we systematically reconstruct ability-oriented teaching objectives, optimize content and pedagogy, establish a diversified process-based evaluation system, and validate the reform’s effectiveness through a practical case study. Results demonstrate that OBE-driven reform significantly improves students’ engineering practice capabilities and professional competencies.
