Abstract

The Introduction of Ships course is characterized by strong professionalism, perspective, and practicality, which is one of the core courses in the field of ship engineering. To solve the problem of poor teaching effect caused by the large amount of information and dispersion of the course, this paper proposes a reform plan for the education mode of Introduction of Ships based on the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) concept and virtual simulation technology. Relying on the online virtual experiment platform, the course teaching resources are expanded and an integrated teaching model is constructed including pre-course, in-course, and post-course. The novel education mode is problem-oriented, closely integrates practical content with theoretical knowledge, and a customized teaching mode is realized through project-driven, case study, and comprehensive assessment and evaluation. A hybrid online and offline teaching channel is formed by synthesizing a variety of teaching strategies, so as to expand the flexibility of teaching activities. The proposed education mode can stimulate enthusiasm of students for active participation and independent learning, effectively achieve the student-centered teaching goal. Meanwhile, it has good expandability and can provide guidance and reference for the teaching of similar professional courses.
