Construction of a Curriculum System for the Integration of Industry and Education in the Robotics Engineering Major of Applied Universities

Abstract

This study designs a curriculum system that deeply integrates industry and education for robotics engineering majors in applied universities. Guided by the CDIO philosophy and the concept of industry–education collaboration, a three-level curriculum framework consisting of foundational courses, professional cores, and integrated practical modules is constructed. Industry technologies and standards are introduced into course content, teaching methods, and evaluation systems through co-developed courses, shared laboratories, and joint faculty teams. The system emphasizes continuous engagement with real-world engineering projects, fostering students' competencies in design, programming, integration, and innovation. The proposed model provides a flexible and sustainable approach for cultivating application-oriented robotics talents that meet the evolving needs of intelligent manufacturing.
