Abstract: With the rapid development of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, higher education has also entered the era of digital transformation. Materials science is one of the core fields in the construction of new engineering disciplines, and there is an urgent need to integrate digital and intelligent technologies to reconstruct the talent training system, in order to meet the needs of emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing and new energy. Based on the perspective of digital intelligence empowerment, this article explores the connotation and characteristics of digital education, analyzes the problems existing in the cultivation of traditional materials talents, explores the necessity of digital intelligence empowerment, and proposes corresponding strategies from the aspects of curriculum system, practical teaching, teaching staff, school enterprise cooperation, and evaluation mechanism, in order to provide useful references for the cultivation of materials talents, assist in the construction of new engineering disciplines, and cultivate innovative and entrepreneurial talents that meet the needs of future industries.

Key words: Digital intelligence empowerment, Materials major, New engineering construction, Higher education, Innovation and entrepreneurship, Talent training
