Abstract

The course "Fundamentals and Skills of Electronic Technology" is a core course for students majoring in electronic information. However, the development of its teaching syllabus faces three main issues. Firstly, the methods for students to acquire knowledge and the requirements for processing information are not clearly defined. Secondly, the working process requirements under standardized criteria are not well-defined, lacking explicit demands for students' information processing abilities, language communication skills, and mathematical logic operations. Lastly, there is a lack of explicit requirements for students' autonomy, responsibility, and creativity. To address these challenges, curriculum reform based on the vocational education qualification framework is proposed, which provides more specific requirements for setting teaching objectives. For instance, in the digital section of the course, a specific application scenario involving the design of combinational logic circuits is introduced. This scenario focuses on creating a calling circuit that prioritizes the care of critically ill patients in hospitals. Students are guided to analyze and design circuits and utilize LabVIEW software for circuit simulation. Through this approach, students' comprehensive abilities are enhanced, and they are better equipped to become highly skilled and qualified professionals for enterprises.
