Abstract

Following the proposal of the “Emerging Engineering Education (EEE)” initiative, the cultivation of interdisciplinary innovative talents has gained increasing prominence. Currently, there exists a significant gap between the practical innovation capabilities of automotive majors in vocational colleges and the evolving demands of the industry. To address deficiencies in interdisciplinary innovative talent development programs, this study proposes an educational framework structured around “One Core, Two Dimensions, Three Levels.” Leveraging a project-driven teaching methodology and utilizing CATIA—the industry-standard 3D design software—as a central tool, we have developed a closed-loop teaching model integrating theory, modeling, simulation, and evaluation. This model underpins a newly designed automotive engineering practicum aimed at nurturing high-quality engineering talents equipped with three critical competencies: solving complex engineering challenges, digital design proficiency, and cross-disciplinary collaborative innovation. The proposed approach demonstrates potential to alleviate the structural disconnect between traditional engineering pedagogy and industry talent requirements.
