Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Talents with creative problem-solving abilities are the primary production factor of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as well as the most important factor in national competitiveness and the level of economic and technological development. Higher education is the key step in talent cultivation, and engineering teaching is the specific practical link in the implementation of higher education. The new economy characterized by new technologies, industries, and formats is promoting the reform and practice of new engineering teaching in universities.
The current situation of traditional engineering teaching presents the following characteristics: strong theoretical property of basic mechanics courses without enough interest, insufficient integration of theory and practical applications, and a lack of interactive teaching modes. The current teaching situation cannot meet the urgent needs of universities for the deep integration of information technology and education in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Entering into the era of new-generation information technology and digital twin, virtual reality, and real-time visualization technologies, enhanced educational innovation is emerging rapidly. The transformation of traditional teaching into digital education is an inevitable trend in modern engineering teaching.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to exhibit and report the recent challenges, attempts, and developments in digital technology-empowered innovation and applications for engineering education. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
[Types of articles]
Technical papers/case studies/project reports/reviews and state-of-the-art discussions
[Type of engineering education]
Construction engineering/civil engineering/building engineering/structural engineering/seismic engineering
[Type of Digital Technology]
Virtual reality and augmented reality technology/artificial intelligence/machine learning technologies/big data technology
