Research on the Cultivation of GIS Professionals in Application-Oriented Undergraduate Universities in the Digital Intelligence Era

The training plan is an important guiding document for colleges and universities to carry out teaching activities, teaching management, and implement talent training. With the advent of the era of intelligence and digital, big data, artificial intelligence and digital twin are developing rapidly. It is urgent to revise the talent training program of GIS major in application-oriented undergraduate colleges to meet the demands of the times. Based on the needs of the GIS industry in the era of digital intelligence, this paper analyzes the current situation and problems of GIS major training in application-oriented undergraduate colleges, and proposes a "intelligence-oriented, application-driven" reconstruction plan for the GIS talent training system. It reshapes the training goals of the geographical information science major of Henan University of Urban Construction, and introduces in detail the construction of the curriculum system and the update and optimization of the curriculum content of the 25-edition training plan. The "trinity" ability training characteristics demonstrate the scientific nature and rationality of the training model proposed in this article. The plan proposed in this paper can provide reference for the cultivation of GIS majors in application-oriented undergraduate colleges.
