Due to the disadvantages in the training for undergraduates in computer-related programs and the characteristics of universities of applied sciences, the project-based teaching based on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) (or, PJBT-STEAM) is introduced into programming courses. The teaching reform is carried out from the aspects of teaching project design, teaching activity design and evaluation design. The new mode aims to improve the current situation in programming courses, such as repetitive and monotonous practice, lack of interdisciplinary knowledge, etc., adopting the project-based teaching and diversified evaluation model to cultivate students' innovation ability. The result shows that the PJBT-STEAM enhances student’s interest in attending the course, eagerness to innovate and multidisciplinary application ability, which plays a beneficial role in the teaching reform and innovation in universities of applied sciences. © 2021, Global Chinese Society for Computers in Education.
