In liberal arts experimental teaching, however, there remain several challenges. On the one hand, course objectives are insufficiently aligned with job requirements, and teaching design often remains at a theoretical level; on the other hand, although some universities have attempted to introduce virtual simulation platforms and project-based learning, the overall pathway still lacks systematic guidance. Grounded in the orientation of application-oriented education, this study proposes a curriculum system constructed through the six balanced dimensions, exploring optimization paths for liberal arts experimental teaching in non-government universities from overall design to teaching implementation. In doing so, it enriches localized research on experimental teaching in liberal arts, stimulates student initiative, enhances practical and innovative capabilities, promotes the integration of teaching and practice, and ultimately achieves the goal of cultivating application-oriented talents.
