Abstract

Addressing the problems that the content of software engineering experimental courses is traditionally disconnected from actual industrial scenarios and that students' practical abilities are difficult to improve, this paper proposes a teaching reform plan that deeply integrates CAD software development technology with software engineering experimental courses. The article analyzes the existing problems in current software engineering experimental courses and clarifies the goal of integrating CAD development technology into experimental content to enhance students' system analysis and system design capabilities. Specific teaching reform ideas are proposed, and the experimental course content is designed to be divided into two parts: "Foundation" and "Engineering Practice Advancement". This design can both consolidate theoretical knowledge and enhance engineering practice capabilities. Finally, the effectiveness of the teaching implementation is analyzed.
