In the context of engineering education accreditation, this paper presents an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) teaching design for the course. The instructional content is modularized, specific student learning outcomes are articulated, and a comprehensive evaluation system is established. This teaching design aims and contributes the enhancement of students’ academic competencies and foster improved learning achievements.
