Abstract

This paper addresses the practical needs of teaching reform for the "Automatic Control Principle" course within the context of emerging engineering education. By systematically analyzing the evolution of the course syllabus and integrating teaching practices in the Robotics Engineering major, an implementation path for course education is constructed, based on the in-depth exploration of educational elements and driven by competition projects. The research adopts a method combining case-based teaching and project-based learning, organically integrating professional knowledge such as control system stability analysis with the cultivation of comprehensive qualities like craftsmanship spirit and engineering ethics. The effectiveness is validated through practical platforms such as the "Siemens Cup" China Intelligent Manufacturing Challenge (CIMC). Practice shows that this model effectively enhances students' innovation capability and professional competence, with significant improvements in competition participation rates and award levels, achieving synergistic development of knowledge impartation and value guidance. Further analysis indicates that the key to the model's success lies in building a closed-loop, continuously improving teaching ecosystem. Course teaching reform requires continuous optimization of teaching strategies and strengthening of faculty development to provide robust support for cultivating engineering technical talents with both moral integrity and professional competence.
