ABSTRACT

The Architectural Environment and Energy Application Engineering program aims to cultivate versatile engineering technology professionals, and internship education plays a crucial role in bridging theory and practice. Taking the Architectural Environment and Energy Application Engineering program at Shandong University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology as a case study, this paper analyzes the issues encountered in internship training. In response to these challenges, three improvement measures are proposed. First, virtual simulation scenarios are integrated with BIM (Building Information Modeling) software training, reinforcing overall system understanding through the combination of "training reports + BIM models." Second, a card model-making project is introduced to enhance students' hands-on skills and teamwork through group collaboration, with a comprehensive assessment approach combining "model evaluation + defense." Third, external internship bases are expanded, with the addition of the Shengli Oilfield New Energy Center, covering seven major projects, including photovoltaic and waste heat recovery. By constructing a dual-track training system of "traditional HVAC + new energy low-carbon" in parallel, the fragmentation of practical training and the disconnect between theory and practice are effectively addressed.
