Under the background of a modern intelligent construction system represented by modern information technologies (such as BIM and 3D printing), construction robots, and prefabricated decoration, and in line with the guidelines of the Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Modern Vocational Education issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, this paper carries out innovative practices in teaching reform with the core courses of architectural engineering in higher vocational colleges as research objects. It utilizes information technology teaching methods such as BIM and 3D printing, integrates content such as construction robots and prefabricated decoration, aligns with the assessment requirements of the 1+X vocational skill level certificates, conducts value-added evaluation, and promotes the integration of science and education. The practice has effectively solved the pain points of traditional construction engineering courses in terms of teaching methods, content, evaluation, and integration of science and education. The teaching efficiency has been effectively improved, enabling students to master the latest technologies, practicing the carbon reduction goal, and helping to improve students’ vocational and technical skills and cultivate their comprehensive quality.
