A Project-Based Teaching Model for the Course Fundamentals and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Vocational Education under the Perspective of Industry–Education Integration

Abstract

In the context of new engineering education and industrial digital transformation, the course Fundamentals and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in higher vocational colleges urgently needs to align more closely with industry demands. Guided by the concept of industry–education integration, this paper proposes a project-based teaching model grounded in real enterprise projects, forming a closed-loop system of “school–enterprise collaboration, task-driven learning, and intelligent evaluation.” By embedding project tasks in application scenarios such as intelligent manufacturing, smart transportation, and low-altitude economy, the model cultivates students’ abilities in AI application and problem solving. The research results show that this approach significantly enhances students’ professional adaptability and innovative practice skills, providing an innovative paradigm for the collaborative cultivation of AI talents between higher vocational institutions and industry.
