Abstract

With the rapid rise of emerging engineering fields such as artificial intelligence and big data, traditional computer engineering education faces significant challenges in cultivating students’ ability to solve complex engineering problems. Guided by emerging engineering education (3E) principles, this study developed a hierarchical practice teaching system validated through a decade of implementation at Huazhong Agricultural University. By deconstructing complex engineering problems, the system cultivates students’ core competencies in cross-domain integration and iterative optimization. The framework integrates course experiments, project-based curricula, industry-academia-research collaboration, and innovation incubation. Its technical innovations include modular integration strategies to embed emerging engineering principles into experimental designs (e.g., agriculture-oriented AI projects), dynamic feedback mechanisms for system optimization based on continuous industry evaluations and graduate competency tracking, and an information management platform to support personalized learning. The system’s effectiveness is evidenced by increased industry recognition, a doubling of graduate employment rates in agricultural technology, a 215% growth in disciplinary competition awards, and successful replication after customization at three industry-focused universities, demonstrating its scalable adaptability. This research provides a paradigm for aligning discipline-specific practical education with the demands of intelligent industrial transformation.
