ABSTRACT

In the context of deep integration between science, education, and industry, the teaching reform of the "PLC Principles and Interface Technology" course focuses on collaborative innovation between industry needs and education. Addressing issues such as the disconnect between theory and practice in traditional teaching, lagging technology updates, and low matching with industry needs, a dual-track teaching model combining "project-driven learning + real-life cases" is established, incorporating actual engineering cases from enterprises. Through the industry-education integration platform, modular teaching resources are developed in collaboration with enterprise engineers, strengthening core skill training in PLC programming, inverter debugging, and other aspects. Simultaneously, ideological and political elements are integrated into the curriculum to cultivate students' craftsmanship spirit of excellence. Practice has shown that the reform significantly enhances students' engineering capabilities and comprehensive qualities. It has also greatly improved enterprise satisfaction with graduates and the depth of cooperation between schools and enterprises, effectively promoting the coordinated development of teaching, scientific research, and industry.
