Guided by the philosophy of outcome-based education (OBE), the study develops an integrated framework characterized by OBE orientation, value-based integration, and digital-intelligence support. At the level of course content, knowledge graph technology is employed to reorganize the underlying knowledge structure so as to promote the implicit integration of disciplinary knowledge with such value-oriented elements as craftsmanship, engineering ethics, and patriotic sentiments. At the pedagogical level, project-based learning is adopted, and an anti-hallucination artificial intelligence agent based on large language models is introduced as a cognitive scaffold to support blended inquiry-based learning. At the level of assessment, a whole-process, multidimensional evaluation system is established on the basis of multisource data collected from a smart teaching platform and an AI interaction backend. Teaching practice shows that the redesigned model has effectively enhanced students’ innovative practical ability to solve complex engineering problems, while also strengthening their intrinsic motivation to contribute to national scientific and technological development. The study provides both a practical reform model and an empirical reference for the high-quality, intelligent development of foundational engineering courses.Digital Logic, Digital-intelligence empowerment, Value guidance, OBE, AI agent, PBL
