This study focuses on the core curriculum of the Robotics Engineering major, specifically the course “Sensors and Detection Technology.” It focuses on the foundational knowledge, instruction, and technical skill training in robotics and proposes a research-oriented learning model for the Robotics Engineering program, with an emphasis on application and innovation. It aims to establish a cross-curricular, competition-based experimental platform for the Robotics Engineering program. The goal is to develop a multi-tiered training system and advance teaching reforms that would boost students’ engineering practice capabilities. By integrating curriculum development, interdisciplinary course design, and student participation in academic competitions, the model aligns learning objectives with student development needs that will foster students’ innovation and entrepreneurial skills. The study also explores a hierarchical practical teaching model via “basic experiments, cross-curricular design, and academic competitions.” The model would help develop integrated innovation projects across multiple themes, and establish a project- and need-driven engineering practice training system across the entire curriculum. This approach would eventually transform traditional passive learning into active learning, thereby enhancing student development in the emerging field of Robotics Engineering.
