Abstract: In the context of the green and low-carbon transformation of the construction industry and the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, the traditional talent training model combining classroom and internship is difficult to meet the needs of compound and innovative talents. Subject competitions, with their proximity to the forefront of the industry, emphasis on real-life situations and interdisciplinary collaboration, have become an important bridge connecting the classroom and society, theory and practice. This article takes the architecture major as an example to analyze the problems of curriculum lag, practice mismatch, insufficient collaboration, and poor achievement transformation in the process of competition integration in applied universities. It proposes a reform path of “curriculum reconstruction practice optimization team integration platform collaboration” , explores the education mechanism driven by competition as the core, and provides reference for educational innovation and sustainable transformation of the construction industry in applied universities.

Key words: Integration of competition and education, Subject competitions, Architecture major, Curriculum restructuring, Practical teaching, Talent cultivation mode
