This paper focuses on the teaching reform and practice of Mechanical Design courses under the Emerging Engineering Education framework. Aligning with contemporary engineering education standards, emerging trends, and innovative models, it identifies issues in traditional Mechanical Design instruction. Reform strategies are proposed through restructuring teaching objectives, optimizing curricular content, innovating pedagogical approaches, enhancing practical training, and refining assessment systems. These measures significantly improve students engineering practice capabilities, innovative awareness, and comprehensive competencies, providing strong support for cultivating high-quality mechanical engineering talents meeting the demands of the new era.
