Abstract

This study examines a curriculum system developed at the College of Aviation Manufacturing Industry at Nanchang Hangkong University through Industry-Education Integration (I-E Integration). Drawing on engineering education principles and reforms in the Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Automation program, it aligns course design with industry needs, integrates technological advancements, and embeds production processes. The approach restructures modular course content based on aviation manufacturing technologies, implements project-based learning via a university-enterprise “factory-in-school” training base, and adopts an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) system for evaluation and improvement. This replicable model provides practical insights for industry-focused curriculum development.
