Research on the Reform of Bidding and Contract Management Courses under the OBE Concept

Abstract

“Bidding and Contract Management” is a core course in the field of Construction Management, characterized by strong regulatory requirements, high practical demands, and a notable sensitivity to ethics. To address the issues in traditional teaching, such as an overemphasis on knowledge at the expense of skills and a focus on theory rather than practice, this paper adopts a results-oriented education approach to implement a systematic teaching reform. First, 12 measurable learning outcomes are designed through backward design based on graduation requirements and restructured into five competency-oriented teaching modules. Secondly, innovative teaching methods such as the use of illegal case studies, multi-role immersive simulations, and the integration of information technology tools are employed to strengthen students' compliance awareness, operational skills, and professional judgment in real engineering scenarios. Thirdly, a diversified assessment system combining both formative and summative evaluations is developed to ensure consistency between teaching, learning, and assessment. Finally, a continuous improvement mechanism based on achievement analysis is established. The reform plan emphasizes the development of competencies and value guidance, providing an effective pathway for cultivating engineering management professionals in the new era who possess legal awareness, practical skills, and a sense of responsibility.
