Abstract

The rapid development of intelligent construction is reshaping architectural engineering education in China. In response to national policies promoting the coordinated development of intelligent construction, building industrialization, and vocational undergraduate education, architectural engineering programs must go beyond traditional skill training and focus on cultivating students' integrated abilities in digital modeling, data-driven management, application of intelligent equipment, safety control, and sustainable construction. Based on policy analysis and recent research, this paper proposes an industry-education collaborative talent cultivation framework for vocational undergraduate architectural engineering education. The framework is organized around one core objective, two development lines, multi-stakeholder collaborative governance, and four integration paths, and further establishes a progressive project-based teaching model and a dynamic multi-stakeholder evaluation system. This study provides a practical reference for vocational undergraduate institutions to link curriculum reform with industrial upgrading and the cultivation of high-level technical and skilled talents.
