Under the background of double first-class construction, course is the core element of talent cultivation. Based on the standard of “high order, innovation, and challenge” and the standard of Beijing Institute of Technology’s Research Course Certification, this paper constructs a research course for the comprehensive experimental course “Electric Drive Course Design”, and constructs the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) that integrate advanced knowledge, abilities and qualities. For each ILOs, innovative and challenging teaching content is designed, corresponding teaching strategies are defined, evaluation standards and evaluation feedback mechanisms are formulated, and teaching quality and curriculum level are continuously improved. Practice has proved that the implementation of research courses based on ILOs has cultivated students’ ability to solve complex engineering problems and innovative practical abilities, achieving the training goal of “value shaping, knowledge cultivation and practical ability”.
