- Abstract
“Transportation Design” is a core professional course in the talent development program for transportation engineering majors in higher education institutions. The current traffic engineering education system is confronted with multiple issues, such as a discrepancy between instructional materials and corporate requirements, inadequate implementation of practical teaching modules, and students’ insufficient practical competencies. This paper addresses the current challenges in traffic engineering education by conducting a comprehensive analysis from three key perspectives: the teacher level, the student level, and the enterprise level. Based on this, corresponding reform measures for pedagogical enhancement are proposed. Lastly, using the parking lot design lesson from the “Transportation Design” course as an example, we detail the specific teaching reform plan. Practical teaching experience has demonstrated that this educational reform initiative not only effectively reinforces classroom instruction content but also significantly enhances students’ practical application skills and overall competencies.
