Abstract

Abstract:

To address the new demands for professionals in the fire protection industry and improve the quality of talent development, this study adopted the OBE framework. It drew on interviews with industry organizations, practitioners, graduates, and educators, along with an analysis of relevant laws, regulations, and standards. The curriculum systems of 29 domestic and international universities offering fire engineering programs were compared, and the competency requirements for talent in the context of fire protection and artificial intelligence integration were examined. The study identifies key job roles and core competencies in fire engineering, defines corresponding educational objectives and graduation outcomes, and maps their interrelationships. Furthermore, it proposes a curriculum system and knowledge structure suited to the evolving needs of the industry, designates eight core courses such as Fire Combustion Science, and develops new engineering-oriented fire protection courses that respond to emerging safety challenges and integrate artificial intelligence. Finally, it is suggested that fire engineering majors in different universities should leverage their respective institutional and disciplinary strengths to develop distinctive features, serve the industry, and foster mutual support.

Key words: outcome-based education (OBE), fire protection engineering, talent development, core competency, curriculum system
