Abstract

The conventional classroom teaching model struggles to meet the requirements for cultivating outstanding engineers in the field of environmental engineering under the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy in the new era. In addition to the existing core courses, the incorporation of seminar discussions as a teaching mode to reinforce students’ knowledge dissemination has been applied in multiple universities. This paper, based on the analysis of the OBE goals for cultivating outstanding engineers and the existing shortcomings in the training of talents in the environmental engineering discipline, innovatively proposes the utilization of teacher-industry expert collaborative seminars based on open-ended problems. Through multiple rounds of debates involving two student groups, this approach aims to enhance students’ application of professional knowledge and engineering argumentation skills, effectively tap into students’ innovative capabilities, and achieve interactive improvement between teachers and students as well as a sustained enhancement in teaching quality. Practical evidence indicates that students participating in these discussion seminars show significant improvements in academic performance, participation in academic competitions, and pursuit of postgraduate studies.
