Abstract

Under the background of New Quality Productive Forces, the innovation of materials technology has significantly promoted the development of strategic emerging industries, such as new materials, new energy, and civil aviation. "Fundamentals of Materials Science", as a core course in the materials discipline, aims to cultivate materials professionals with ideals and beliefs, moral qualities, cultural literacy, and a sense of discipline. This paper, in response to the requirements of New Quality Productive Forces for the teaching of "Fundamentals of Materials Science", based on the OBE educational concept and oriented towards "learning outcome production", analyzes the characteristics of the course content and the requirements for postgraduate entrance examination, emphasizes practice and application, closely aligns with industrial demands, and implements a teaching design that meets the "two highs and one degree" standards. It integrates the latest research achievements and engineering application examples into the teaching process. It discusses the deficiencies in content setting, teaching methods, and assessment methods in the current course teaching, and proposes improvement measures such as optimizing teaching content, methods, and assessment methods, and further constructing a characteristic teaching system to enhance teaching quality, cultivate materials applied technical talents needed in the new era, and assist the development of New Quality Productive Forces.
