ABSTRACT

Against the dual backdrop of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and the increasingly urgent national strategic demand for self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, the Artificial Intelligence course for mechanical engineering majors undertakes the dual mission of imparting technical knowledge and shaping value identity. Taking DeepSeek, a domestically independent artificial intelligence tool, as the teaching starting point, this paper systematically explores the implementation paths for integrating ideological and political elements such as self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology and independent innovation into the Artificial Intelligence course of mechanical engineering. The study proposes a three-stage integration model of "Technical Tool Selection - Ideological and Political Element Mapping - Teaching Design Integration" and combines typical teaching cases such as mechanical fault diagnosis and intelligent optimal design to deeply analyze the unique value of DeepSeek in carrying the function of ideological and political education. The research shows that guiding students to use domestic large models to complete the development of AI applications in the mechanical field can subtly enhance students' national pride and the awareness of serving the country through science and technology in technical learning, realizing the organic integration of knowledge imparting, ability training, and value guidance. This paper aims to provide theoretical reference and a practical paradigm for the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence teaching and curriculum ideological and political education in mechanical engineering-related professional courses.
