Abstract: In order to adapt to the new direction of reform and development of engineering practice education in colleges and universities under the background of digital education, and promote the effective integration of engineering practice education and innovation and entrepreneurship education, an engineering innovation practice teaching model based on virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology is constructed. This paper explores the characteristics of hybrid teaching of engineering innovation practice and the advantages of“VR + AI”technology in engineering practice teaching, and carries out research from the aspects of teaching mode reform of engineering innovation practice course, VR teaching platform construction, AI teacher module development, course resource library construction, in order to realize personalized and intelligent teaching of engineering innovation practice.

Key words: Engineering practice teaching, Virtual reality, Artificial intelligence, Engineering innovation practice, Personalized learning, Immersive learning
