As artificial intelligence and digital technologies are reshaping the industrial landscape

cultivating interdisciplinary talents at the intersection of art and technology has emerged as a crucial task in higher education. To address challenges such as the cognitive barriers between art design and polymer materials disciplines

fragmented curriculum systems

and insufficient industry-academia collaboration

this study established and implemented a teaching model on the “art and technology” platform. This model is characterized by “two integration

two drivers

three teaching approaches

and one evaluation mechanism”.This model establishes a three-stage progressive curriculum system that advances “art-engineering integration” through theory-practice interplay. It enhances multi-level pedagogical practices through a progressive approach involving “competitions−research projects−innovation workshops” fosters industry-education-innovation synergy through jointly built practice bases and entrepreneurship incubation platforms

forming a pipeline for research outcome transformation

and incorporates rolling evaluations for continuous optimization. Practical experience has demonstrated that this model significantly enhances students’ cross-border integration capabilities

innovative practice abilities

and industrial adaptability. It thus provides a replicable paradigm for cultivating interdisciplinary talents in art and engineering

suited to the needs of the new era.
