ABSTRACT

As the reform of higher education progresses, the limitations of traditional teaching models have become increasingly apparent, particularly in design courses where an overemphasis on theoretical instruction and skill training often neglects the development of students' creativity and practical abilities. Against this backdrop, project-based learning has emerged as an innovative pedagogical approach, gaining widespread attention in both domestic and international educational fields. This method, centered around students, integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application through real-world projects, allowing students to master course content while addressing actual problems. Such a teaching strategy not only enhances students' motivation but also improves their overall competencies. The course "Design Drawing and Visualization," as one of the foundational courses in design disciplines, involves the cultivation of complex spatial imagination and technical skills. Traditional teaching methods are increasingly inadequate to meet the modern educational demands for versatile talents. Therefore, exploring and implementing project-based learning in the "Design Drawing and Visualization" course holds significant theoretical and practical importance, offering new pathways and insights for design education in higher institutions.
