Research on a Project-Driven Teaching Model for Automation Majors Oriented Toward Industry-Education Integration

Abstract

With the deepening of industry-education integration policies, the traditional teaching model in automation majors has revealed significant shortcomings. The disconnection between theory and practice makes it difficult for students to transform knowledge into practical abilities, while the mismatch between talent supply and industrial demand increases recruitment costs for enterprises. To address these problems, this paper focuses on the construction and implementation of a project-driven teaching model. From the perspectives of core element design, phased implementation pathways, and multi-dimensional support mechanisms, a systematic study is carried out. The paper elaborates on the logic behind building a stepwise project system, a modular curriculum, a dual-mentor mechanism, and a three-level practice platform, while also analyzing in depth the supporting roles of collaborative school-enterprise management, faculty mobility, and equipment sharing. The study ultimately forms an operable teaching reform scheme that supports the deep integration of industry and education in automation, improves the quality of talent cultivation, and promotes the coordinated upgrading of professional education and industrial development, thereby helping to resolve the fundamental contradiction between current talent cultivation and industrial demand.
