Abstract

Addressing challenges such as outdated knowledge content, insufficient industry-academia integration, and other related issues in the "Python Programming" course within the context of Emerging Engineering Education, this paper proposes a pedagogical reform framework characterized by 'industry orientation, competition-education integration, and multi-dimensional assessment.' By restructuring the curriculum, developing an Online Judge (OJ) platform-driven mechanism for integrating competitions with education, establishing a university-enterprise collaborative education platform, and innovating a four-dimensional assessment system, this study tackled issues of pedagogical relevance and the fostering of engineering innovation capabilities. Post-reform, significant improvements were observed in student competition awards, internship retention rates by enterprises, as well as code standardization levels and debugging efficiency. These outcomes validate the effectiveness of the 'four-in-one' integrated pathway, offering a replicable model for the development of Emerging Engineering Education courses in regional higher education institutions.
