Abstract: Measurement and control technology and instrumentation is an interdisciplinary field that synthesises knowledge from electrical engineering, optics, control theory, computer science, and instrument science. Given its integrated and high-tech nature, conventional teaching approaches often prove inadequate in fostering students' hands-on skills and innovative thinking. To overcome these limitations, a multi-tiered teaching framework has been designed, emphasising the development of practical and creative competencies. This model reforms the existing structure of experimental instruction through the integration of dedicated teaching platforms. It closely combines theoretical concepts with real-world applications, employing enhanced practical tools such as LapDepth to deliver interactive, experience-based learning. The restructured approach has effectively strengthened students' comprehensive abilities and demonstrated significant outcomes in instructional practice.

Keywords: talent cultivation; teaching mode; practice teaching; LapDepth.
