With the gradual integration of traditional construction and modern information technology, the construction industry is gradually transforming towards intelligent construction featuring visualization, industrialization, and informatization. It has become an important development direction of colleges and universities to carry out professional construction and teaching reform. The traditional structural design principle course has some problems, such as planarization of space structure, single teaching method, insufficient digitization, informatization, and intelligence in the structural analysis process, and inadequate utilization of information and software resources. This paper systematically analyzes the development process of intelligent construction technology. Taking Zhejiang University as an example, based on the technical standards of the construction of new engineering specialty, a new teaching scheme of structural design principle course is put forward from the perspective of curriculum system, teaching method, teaching platform and case analysis. A new educational path of intelligent construction specialty is explored, providing reference for the construction of intelligent construction specialty in other universities.
