To address the problem of disconnection between theory and industry practice in the course \"Traffic Control and Management\" , and to meet the requirement for application-oriented talents driven by intelligent transportation development, this paper takes Integration of industry and education as the core approach, combines the OBE concept and Collaboration between science education ideology, and systematically parses the existing problems in course teaching regarding content update, practical links, and faculty development. By constructing a reform system of \"School-enterprise collaboration, Integration of competitions and research, Multidimensional evaluation\", specific paths such as Modular reconstruction of course content, Hierarchical construction of practice platforms, and Dual - ability cultivation of teaching staff are proposed. It aims to enhance students\' Engineering practice ability and Innovative thinking, and provide a reference implementation plan for Integration of industry and education in Traffic courses.
Introduction
With rapid urbanization and emerging intelligent transportation technologies, the traditional Traffic Control and Management course is struggling to meet the industry's evolving demands. Three core issues hinder effective teaching: outdated content, limited practical training, and a faculty lacking industry experience. Additionally, collaboration between academia and industry remains superficial.
To address these challenges, the paper proposes a reform path based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and industry-education integration, featuring:
Curriculum Redesign: Introduce a modular structure combining core theory, industry applications, and cutting-edge topics (e.g., autonomous traffic systems), with industry experts involved in course design and delivery.
Practical Platform Construction: Build a four-tier practice system—from lab simulations to enterprise internships, competitions, and joint research—to bridge theory and real-world application.
Dual-Teacher Faculty Development: Create joint teams of academic and enterprise mentors, encouraging teacher internships in industry and formalizing enterprise participation in teaching.
Diversified Assessment System: Implement a 3-part evaluation model (process, outcome, and enterprise assessment) to ensure learning aligns with real job competencies.
Expected Outcomes
The reform aims to significantly enhance students’:
Engineering practice abilities
Innovative problem-solving skills
Team collaboration competence
Overall, it promotes a seamless connection between university education and industry requirements.
Conclusion
The reform of the \"Traffic Control and Management\" course focuses on breaking down the barriers between \"school teaching and enterprise application\", and building a new teaching ecology oriented towards demand, driven by projects, and jointly cultivated by industry and education. By aligning course content with industry needs, integrating practice platforms to connect school and enterprise resources, strengthening the dual capabilities of teachers, and focusing on capability achievement in the evaluation system, the quality of talent cultivation has been effectively improved.The reform path can provide a reference for the integration of industry and education in similar courses, and help to cultivate application-oriented innovative talents adapted to the development of intelligent transportation.
