LTD.10.18063/CEF.v4i3.1794ArticleResearch on the Innovation of Demand-Oriented Vocational Education Teaching Models in the Smart Building Industryhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/CEF/4/3/10.18063/CEF.v4i3.1794WangDan2026432026-03-26The fast growth of intelligent construction has brought about a new requirement for technology and skills, as well as a growing gap between conventional VET patterns and industrial requirements. Based on the needs of the profession, this article analyses the competence structure and key work needs of the Intelligent Architecture Division, points out the deficiencies of existing VET courses, practices and methods, and suggests new ways of teaching by reconfiguring courses, work-based learning, developing teachers, and evaluating changes. All these ideas can be used to improve the training quality of intelligent construction projects and to realize the synchronous development of VET.Smart buildings, Industry demands, Vocational education, Teaching model innovation
