The course 'Principles and Applications of Microcontrollers' has a significant gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, lacking real-world case studies. The content updates lag behind technological advancements, resulting in outdated knowledge that fails to meet the needs of actual development. To improve teaching effectiveness, a cross-disciplinary, project-oriented curriculum framework using the CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) project-based teaching approach has been proposed. We integrate local characteristics and implement multidimensional teaching resource integration. A project-based learning path has been established based on the OBE-CDIO engineering education philosophy and a collaborative education model between schools and enterprises, jointly building and sharing high-quality teaching resources has been constructed. Focusing on automotive microcontrollers, we have perfected the curriculum system, covering automotive microcontroller simulation experiments, student competitions, and innovation and entrepreneurship projects.This innovative reform has benefited students from various engineering disciplines, significantly enhancing their innovative and practical skills. Students have showcased innovative ideas and addressed social issues in projects, achieving excellent results in related competitions within the field.
