Results-Oriented Teaching Reform of Fiber Optical Communication Course under the Engineering Education Certification

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In the context of current engineering education certification, the "Optical Fiber Communication" course has undergone teaching reforms in content design and implementation to meet teaching objectives and graduation requirements. The 4A4S (Four Ability Four Skills) system, introduced for the first time, focuses on results-oriented teaching and evaluation. It involves analyzing graduation requirements, setting clear learning outcomes, designing suitable teaching methods, establishing a scientific evaluation system, and assessing the impact of teaching reforms. Post-reform, the class's excellent and good performance rate is 10% higher than others. Students now master optical fiber communication system design and analysis, apply theoretical knowledge and software to solve complex engineering problems, and meet graduation requirements. This study is a valuable reference for teaching reforms in engineering certification contexts.
