Abstract

With the rapid development of smart agriculture, traditional training models for agricultural machinery professionals face major challenges, including outdated curricula, limited practical platforms, and insufficient industry-education integration. Focusing on local agricultural universities, this study proposes an innovative practice-oriented talent cultivation model centered on industry-education integration, project-driven learning, and multidimensional collaboration. The reform was implemented through curriculum restructuring, optimization of the practical teaching system, development of dual-qualified faculty, and construction of multi-level industry-education platforms. Practice has shown that this model effectively enhances students’ innovative and practical abilities, improves their adaptability to industrial demands, and strengthens graduate employability, thereby providing strong talent and technical support for regional agricultural modernization and rural revitalization.
