China’s space industry is becoming more globalized, increasing the need for high-quality, well-rounded aerospace technology translators. Application-oriented universities faces challenges in cultivating such talents, including vague goals, an imbalanced curriculum, and insufficient practical teaching. Grounded in the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) framework, this study constructs a new model which features four-ability goals, five-course modules, three-collaboration mode, two practical-teaching platforms, and a translation community by full-time and part-time staff”. Two years of implementation demonstrates that this model successfully meets the objectives for cultivating interdisciplinary aerospace technology professionals, thereby providing valuable reference for translator education in applied universities.
