Exploration and Practice of Virtual Simulation Experiment Teaching for Cross-Grades Talent Cultivation from the Perspective of Smart Education

Under the background of the national digital transformation of education and teaching in China, and regarding the demands of cross-grades integrated talent cultivation, the National Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Center for Equipment Manufacturing in the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST), relying on virtual simulation experiments, has been continuously carrying out virtual simulation experimental teaching reforms for cross-grades cultivation. These reforms include the "integration of primary, secondary, and higher education" and the "integration of undergraduate and postgraduate education" empowered by wisdom education, breaking through disciplinary boundaries and educational - stage barriers. By creating intelligent and boundaryless virtual simulation experimental teaching scenarios, expanding digital virtual simulation experimental teaching resources, and innovating the cross-grades virtual simulation experimental teaching system, the center provides students with more flexible practical spaces and richer learning resources. This can meet students' individualized demands and academic interests better, and offers significant support for cultivating high - quality talents with innovative spirits and practical abilities.
