Abstract: With the urgent need for transformation and upgrading in the civil engineering industry, the intelligent construction major has emerged, aiming to integrate multidisciplinary knowledge and cultivate composite talents with intelligent construction and operation and maintenance capabilities. This article focuses on the training mode of intelligent construction major in applied universities under the background of industry education integration, analyzes the challenges faced by the development of this major, and puts forward a series of suggestions to address these challenges, such as strengthening interdisciplinary training, deepening industry education integration, building a “dual teacher” teaching team, and cultivating students'innovation and entrepreneurship abilities. Through these measures, the aim is to build a training mode closely integrated with industry development, and cultivate high-quality professional talents who can adapt to the trend of intelligent and automated development in the construction industry.
