Corporate finance courses are increasingly adopting data-driven teaching methods. Modern corporate finance courses are focusing more on students' career development. Through simulation practice and career planning guidance, students are better prepared to face challenges in the workplace after graduation. Students need to learn how to utilize data analysis tools and techniques to extract useful information from large datasets and make more accurate decisions. Data-driven teaching is a significant innovation in current curriculum reforms. In recent years, with the development of technology and the emergence of financial innovation, corporate finance courses have been undergoing continuous changes and innovations. These courses have started to emphasize emerging areas such as digital finance, blockchain technology, and sustainable development. Taking the example of corporate finance, this paper integrates the demands of skill development in the era of digital finance, focusing on aspects like teaching methods, reform methodologies, practical experiments, feedback mechanisms, and data analysis.
The architecture and engineering industry employs resource-efficient sustainable building design (SBDC) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate environmental damage. This study examines the understanding and practice of SBDC among Chinese architecture students. A survey of 555 undergraduates from China’s architecture universities was conducted. Two independent and seven dependent variables were analyzed to evaluate the impact of academic stages and practical experiences on students’ awareness. The findings reveal that over 70% of respondents consider SBDC important in architecture. More than half have taken courses with over 30% SBDC content. However, 45.85% of respondents only have a basic understanding of SBDC. This result underscores the significance of educational disparities, this insufficiency is likely due to inadequate coverage and representation of SBDC in the curriculum. Our study highlights the necessity of enhancing SBDC-related education within the current curriculum framework to ensure all students receive a systematic and comprehensive knowledge of sustainable building design.
