Abstract
This study explores reform and innovation pathways for practical teaching in the Electrical Engineering and Automation major within the framework of international engineering education accreditation, with a focus on IEET standards. Rapid advances in the Industrial Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and new-type power systems have exposed the limitations of traditional practical teaching models in meeting accreditation requirements for complex problem solving, innovation, and professional competence. Based on a systematic analysis of accreditation criteria and existing practices, this study adopts comparative analysis, curriculum restructuring, and industry–education integration to develop a reformed practical teaching model. A modular three-tier practical curriculum (“foundation–integration–innovation”) is constructed, alongside strengthened industry–university collaboration through real engineering projects and a dual-mentor mechanism. Project-based learning supported by virtual simulation and case teaching is further promoted, and a diversified, competency-oriented evaluation system balancing process and outcomes is established. The results show that the proposed framework effectively addresses deficiencies in content, methodology, and assessment, significantly enhancing students’ practical ability, interdisciplinary integration, and innovative capacity. Overall, this study provides a feasible pathway for aligning engineering education with international accreditation standards and improving talent cultivation quality.
