Abstract:The Mechanism and Machine Theory course is a core foundational course for mechanical engineering majors, characterized by highly abstract theory and strong engineering practicability. Traditional teaching, dominated by lecturing and static demonstrations, struggles to meet the demands of new engineering education for cultivating students’ innovation, practical abilities, and comprehensive qualities. To address these issues, supported by an intelligent teaching platform, this study establishes a reform approach of "data-driven precise teaching and scenario integration for deepened practice." It constructs generative AI-based dynamic simulation scenarios to resolve cognitive barriers, utilizes machine learning algorithms for personalized path recommendations, and leverages large language models for full-process intelligent assessment. Taking the motion analysis of planar four-bar mechanisms and cam design as examples, the study verifies the model’s effectiveness in tackling two persistent challenges in traditional pedagogy, namely students conceptual gaps and their inability to apply knowledge to practice. This study also shows that AI markedly enhances classroom interactivity, learning efficiency, and overall teaching quality, shifting students from passive reception to active inquiry and effectively developing their ability to solve complex engineering problems. Besides, Quantitative data and mechanism analysis indicate that the teaching reform has achieved remarkable results, providing a scalable and replicable intelligent teaching paradigm for cultivating new engineering talent.
