Abstract

This paper delves into the curriculum reform of "Road and Bridge Construction Technology" under the guidance of the Outcome - Based Education (OBE) concept. It comprehensively analyzes the current situation and existing problems of the course, elaborates on the specific reform strategies from multiple aspects such as curriculum objectives, teaching content, teaching methods, and assessment methods. The aim is to enhance the teaching quality of the course and cultivate high - quality road and bridge engineering professionals who can meet the demands of the industry. Through this research, it is expected to provide valuable references for the innovation and development of relevant courses in the field of road and bridge engineering education.
