Engineering Economics is a core course in Civil Engineering, encompassing interdisciplinary and multi-scale theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The course content is extensive, involving numerous economic terms, abstract and intricate calculations, posing significant challenges for students with an engineering background. To address the disconnect between traditional theoretical teaching and practical application abilities in current Engineering Economics courses, this paper proposes a four-in-one teaching system based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept, encompassing "three-dimensional teaching objectives, professional qualification orientation, business analysis skills enhancement, and multi-dimensional evaluation system feedback." This reform aims to comprehensively enhance teaching quality and provide a reference for cultivating high-level applied talents.
