This paper focuses on the training of undergraduate students’ innovation ability. On top of the theoretical framework of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD), we propose a teaching quality management model. Based on this model, we establish a multilevel decomposition indicator system, which integrates innovation ability characterized by four primary indicators and their corresponding secondary indicators, curriculum, pedagogy, teaching forms and assessment. The proposed model and indicators provide guidance for university curriculum development, university education management and practice.
