Abstract

With the deepening reform of engineering education in the new era, the integration of industry and education together with the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept has become a crucial pathway to improving curriculum quality and talent cultivation. This paper takes the Java programming course as a case study to identify issues in traditional teaching models and proposes a reform framework guided by OBE principles. The framework comprises a goal-oriented curriculum structure, a competency-based assessment system, modularized teaching content, and the incorporation of real-world enterprise projects through a dual-mentor mechanism. To examine effectiveness, we conducted a quasi-experimental evaluation in multiple sections of an undergraduate Java course over one academic term, comparing reformed sections with contemporaneous sections taught with the traditional syllabus. Outcomes included final-exam performance, rubric-scored capstone projects, and learning-engagement analytics from the instructional platform; analyses used independent-samples comparisons and pre–post gain estimates with standardized effect sizes. Across all primary indicators, the reformed sections outperformed the comparison sections and exhibited higher engagement and teamwork quality, indicating meaningful gains in programming skill, collaboration, and engineering literacy. These results support integrating OBE with industry participation as a practical and transferable model that aligns course outcomes with professional demands and offers actionable guidance for reforming programming-related courses in higher education.
