Abstract

The construction industry is transitioning from rapid expansion to high-quality development, with graduate employment increasingly drawing public attention. To enhance employability, the Ministry of Education has launched the "Double Thousand" initiative for college students' career development. As a trend in architectural evolution, the Intelligent Construction and New-Type Building Industrialization micro-specialty integrates emerging technologies like BIM, AI, and IoT to cultivate interdisciplinary professionals mastering full-process intelligent manufacturing of prefabricated building components. This study investigates the distinctive features and development of BIM micro-specialties. In civil engineering education practices, we propose an innovative "cross-domain integration" concept combining "Integration of Engineering, Digital, and Equipment Technologies" to address complex challenges. Through open, multidimensional theoretical-practical interactions, this approach transforms traditional engineering disciplines, explores emerging fields via interdisciplinary collaboration, strategically positions talent cultivation for future challenges, and accelerates the development of next-generation engineering professionals.
