Research on the Curriculum Construction of the Robot Engineering Major under the Background of New Engineering Disciplines

Abstract

Under the backdrop of the comprehensive advancement of new engineering education, the robotics engineering discipline, which integrates multiple fields such as mechanics, electronics, control, computer science, and artificial intelligence, urgently needs to break through traditional disciplinary barriers to meet the pressing demand for interdisciplinary talents in the era of intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence. This paper systematically reviews the core issues existing in the current course construction of the robotics engineering major, such as a monotonous course structure, weak practical components, and insufficient interdisciplinary integration. It proposes a course system reconstruction path based on the concept of solid foundation, strong cross-disciplinary integration, emphasis on practice, and promotion of innovation. The research emphasizes that a flexible course structure of platform+module+direction should be established around industrial demands and technological frontiers, strengthening the mathematical and physical foundation and core professional courses, and expanding courses in cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud-edge collaboration. It also advocates for the reform of practical teaching models through project-driven, competition-education integration, and school-enterprise collaboration. Meanwhile, ideological and political education, innovation and entrepreneurship education, and engineering ethics should be organically integrated into the entire course process to form a trinity talent cultivation pattern of value shaping, knowledge imparting, and ability development. By constructing a multi-level, three-dimensional, and open course system for the robotics engineering major, it can provide strong support for the cultivation of high-level applied and innovative talents under the new engineering background, and is of great significance for promoting the connotative development of higher education and the high-quality development of industries.
