Reform and Practice of General‑Education Artificial Intelligence Course for Software Engineering Majors in Application‑oriented Undergraduate Colleges Oriented Toward “AI+X” Integrated Competence
Against the background of educational digital transformation and the “AI‑plus” action strategy, general‑education artificial‑intelligence education for computer majors in application‑oriented undergraduate colleges is confronted with dual challenges of “content homogenization” and “competence mismatch”. Taking the software engineering major as the research object and based on the “1+N” curriculum‑system framework, this paper puts forward a reform scheme for general‑education courses featuring hierarchical progression, tool empowerment, and industry‑education integration. By constructing the “1+N+AI” teaching mode of “core general education + major‑specific customization + large‑model empowerment”, traditional “knowledge imparting” is transformed into “application‑competence building”. Practice shows that this mode can effectively improve students’ AI literacy, interdisciplinary innovative thinking, and capabilities of solving complex engineering problems with AI tools. It provides an operable path for private application‑oriented undergraduate colleges to cultivate compound‑type “software engineering + AI” talents.
