摘要 Gene Engineering Principles is a fundamental professional course for majors such as bioengineering and biotechnology. It integrates theoretical knowledge with experimental practice and engineering applications. It is characterized by its comprehensive and highly practical nature. Aligning with the new-era higher education philosophy of 'competency-oriented, value-driven' teaching, this study presented a systematic exploration and practice based on undergraduate cohorts from 2018 to 2020 in Chengdu University. The reform focused on teaching methodology, formative assessment, and the integration of ideological and political education. Key strategies included the introduction of classical experimental cases, emphasis on pre-class preparation, enhancement of classroom interaction, focus on engineering-oriented applications, optimization of assessment mechanisms, and the incorporation of national strategic needs into the curriculum. These measures effectively stimulated students’ learning motivation and research potential, thereby improving the overall teaching quality and educational effectiveness of the course. The results of the teaching reform demonstrate significant improvements in students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems, scientific thinking, experimental research skills, scientific reasoning, and professional identity. Reformed classes outperformed control groups across various instructional metrics, achieving notable educational outcomes.
