Research on Interdisciplinary Integration and Construction of the Smart Construction Professional Curriculum Cluster

Abstract

As the core direction of digital and intelligent transformation in the construction industry, smart construction places heightened demands on the interdisciplinary integration of professional curriculum systems. Centered on the development of a smart construction curriculum cluster, this research explores innovations in the curriculum system within a multi-disciplinary context. Utilizing BIM-VR platforms, robotics engineering, intelligent equipment, and AI technologies as core supports, it facilitates the deep integration of disciplines such as civil engineering, computer science, and automation control. The study proposes curriculum innovation strategies based on the OBE and CDIO models, along with a modular curriculum framework, constructing a four-tiered curriculum cluster (Foundation-Core-Integration-Practice). Practical teaching is enhanced through industry-academia collaboration and the integration of production, education, and research. For curriculum cluster optimization, the study develops a smart construction competency matrix and a sustainable development framework, introducing a dynamic evaluation mechanism to improve the adaptability of the curriculum system and the quality of talent cultivation. The findings provide theoretical support for the reform of smart construction education, promote the development of smart construction programs in higher education institutions, and contribute to the high-quality development of the construction industry.
