ABSTRACT

In the context of the construction of new engineering disciplines and the " carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals" strategy, this study explores multidimensional teaching reforms to address the theoretical and practical gaps, single technical means, and limited evaluation systems in the course design of wind farm planning and design. By building a GIS+BIM digital twin platform and a virtual wind farm site selection simulation system, we aim to create a teaching scenario that combines virtual and real elements. This work design a multidisciplinary cross disciplinary task that integrates meteorology, ecology, and economics, and establish a tiered ability development system of "WindSim Foundation Layer - Machine Learning Innovation Layer". We implement three-stage project driven teaching, integrate ideological and political elements into the curriculum, and innovate dynamic evaluation mechanisms. Practice has shown that after the reform, the average score of students has increased by 2.61, the proportion of high scores has increased by 7.41%, and the design report has improved in terms of technical depth and innovation dimensions, respectively. This reform will provide ideas for the curriculum design of engineering majors such as wind farm planning, transport applied talents with theoretical and practical collaborative innovation capabilities, and promote the transformation of the new engineering education paradigm.
