Based on the background of engineering education certification, the course objectives of “Food Processing Machinery and Equipment” were optimized by integrating the concept and standard of engineering education certification and the major training objective of Food Science and Engineering. Taking the course assessment results of 6 classes in one academic year as an example, the achievement of course objectives and the existing problems in the course of “Food processing Machinery and Equipment” were analyzed, then some suggestions on teaching reform including course objectives, teaching content, teaching methods and assessment and other aspects were proposed, so as to improve the degree of achievement of course objectives and guarantee the teaching effect.
