Abstract

To address key challenges in practical teaching of naval architecture and ocean engineering in Sino-foreign cooperative education—insufficient experimental conditions, high real-ship experiment costs/risk, and disjointed teaching-industry technologies—this paper proposes an AI-based virtual collaborative practice platform. Integrating virtual simulation, AI real-time cross-lingual translation, VR/AR interaction and personalized learning recommendation, it builds a 1:1 virtual shipyard to reproduce the whole shipbuilding process, with a tiered experimental system and cross-border collaborative teaching model. the platform breaks temporal/linguistic barriers, reduces teaching costs and risks, aligns teaching with industry frontiers, providing a solution for cultivating high-quality interdisciplinary talents with international perspective and engineering capabilities, and serving as a reference for digital transformation of similar programs.
