[An exploration of teaching reform in the AutoCAD Design course for biomanufacturing applications]

The rapid development of the biomanufacturing industry has put an increasing demand for interdisciplinary talents equipped with strong bioengineering design capabilities. However, the conventional teaching model of the AutoCAD Design course fails to effectively support the cultivation of high-quality bioengineering professionals, as students commonly face challenges such as weak engineering application ability, limited innovation and practical skills, and poor alignment with industry needs. To address these issues and enhance students' integrated design and engineering innovation capabilities, we developed a systematic teaching reform framework known as the "one core and five dimensions" model according to the student-centered and competence-oriented educational philosophy. This framework drives comprehensive reforms in teaching contents and teaching methods through five dimensions: curriculum system optimization, online and offline teaching integration, production-education collaboration, incorporation of ideological and political elements, and the integration of competitions with teaching. Since the reform measures were implemented, students have exhibited significantly improvements in operational skills, practical ability, and innovation awareness, which indicate that the overall teaching effectiveness of this course has continued to strengthen. This study offers an effective path for reforming the AutoCAD Design course in bioengineering programs and provides valuable insights for optimizing the talent competency structure in the biomanufacturing field.
