Abstract

The Industry 4.0 era continues to elevate the competency demands for engineering professionals. Outcome-Based Education (OBE), an advanced pedagogical approach focused on student learning outcomes, serves as a core framework for engineering education reform. As a foundational core course in engineering disciplines, Mechanical Drawing plays a pivotal role in cultivating students 'spatial imagination, engineering communication skills, and practical innovation capabilities. Grounded in OBE principles, this paper systematically analyzes the core characteristics of OBE-driven innovative talent development through the lens of Mechanical Drawing's current teaching practices. By examining dimensions including curriculum objectives, content architecture, instructional methodologies, practical platforms, faculty development, and evaluation mechanisms, the study establishes a comprehensive pathway for teaching innovation and talent cultivation. This framework provides actionable references for enhancing course quality and nurturing industry-ready innovative engineering professionals.
