With the continuous development of the social economy, the market’s demand for talents is also constantly changing. “Design of Machinery” is an important curriculum for mechanical majors. Students majoring in machinery use not only a theory but also practical technology after employment. Therefore, in the teaching process, teachers should make reasonable plans, introduce more employment-oriented practical content, and promote the employment of students. It is necessary to integrate the teaching concept of OBE (outcome-based education) into the teaching process, to improve the effectiveness of the “Design of Machinery” curriculum, and to promote the reform of teaching methods.
