Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) empowers the transformation and upgrading of traditional professional courses, fosters a new model of teacher-machine-student intelligent interaction, and accelerates the construction of a strong professional education nation, which is an important task for the current curriculum reform in colleges and universities. Based on the artificial intelligence empowered education subjects, intelligent“teaching and evaluation”integrated comprehensive reform path is explored. Based on the teaching problems of micro control unit (MCU) principles and interface technology courses, “the five-sphere” intelligent teaching assistant platform is created, layered cultivates students through human-computer collaboration, formulate students'personalized learning plans, assist teachers in pre-course preparation, accurate management and teaching optimization, and build a comprehensive ability evaluation system for students. After two years of“AI + MCU teaching”practice research, professional education reform has achieved the integration of intelligent teaching platform into the process, and promoted the innovation and practice of“student-centred”professional teaching mode.
