Based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept, this study constructs a new teaching paradigm of integrating symmetric beauty into engineering electromagnetic field courses with AI empowerment. By analyzing the symmetry nature of electromagnetic theory, a three-level achievement goal of “knowledge - ability – quality” is established. Core knowledge is deeply coupled with symmetry analysis, and a thinking training chain of “symmetry conservation - breaking analysis - reconstruction innovation” is innovatively designed. With the application of AI technology, symmetry cognition diagnosis, virtual simulation, and innovative optimization are realized, which deepens students’ understanding of complex theories and improves compliance rate of symmetry modelling ability for engineering problems. The research provides a teaching reform path of “enlightening truth through beauty and AI empowerment” for engineering education, highlighting the paradigm innovation value of scientific aesthetics.
