ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and its deep integration into engineering drawing, teaching engineering drawing courses in application-oriented universities faces the demand for reform. Guided by market demand, Wuzhou University, as an application-oriented undergraduate university, strengthens the combination of theory and practice by introducing mixed online and offline teaching modes, project-driven methods, and case teaching. For example, students' innovative thinking and practical abilities are stimulated by relying on the wisdom tree platform to implement modular teaching and combine it with real engineering cases. Students' professional adaptability is improved by deepening school-enterprise cooperation and inviting industry experts to participate in teaching. The application value of constructivism and blended learning theory is emphasized, and the student-centeredness is advocated. The knowledge system is constructed through independent inquiry and collaborative learning. The teaching environment is optimized by integrating virtual and augmented reality and other technologies. The teaching reform practice shows that integrating artificial intelligence technology can improve students' drawing skills, innovation consciousness, and ability to solve practical engineering problems and guarantee training high-quality talent in line with industrial needs. In the future, multiple methods, such as project-based learning and flipped classrooms, need further exploration. It can promote the deep integration of engineering drawing technology and cutting-edge technology and help application-oriented universities achieve efficient docking of educational goals and social needs.
