Innovation in a teaching mode of “virtual-real integration and engineering orientation” for building automation and control course

Under the background of building intelligent transformation, the current building automation and control (BAC) course struggles to meet the industry demand for interdisciplinary talents due to issues such as outdated teaching equipment, insufficient virtual-real interaction, superficial case-based teaching, and a disconnect in skill development. This study constructs a teaching model of “virtual-real integration and engineering orientation”. Through a three-dimensional goal-oriented modular curriculum system, a virtual-real integration experimental platform, and a hierarchical engineering case library, combined with the three-stage process of “virtual simulation rehearsal-physical equipment verification-engineering field practice” and the dual-mentor collaborative guidance system, it realizes the deep integration of theory and practice. Then, verified by a diversified evaluation system, it can effectively enhance students’ engineering literacy and practical abilities, and cultivate the interdisciplinary talents required by the industry.
