Universities compete to open intelligent construction majors to help the transformation and upgrading of "China Build"

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has stimulated the vigorous rise of new technologies, new business forms and new platforms such as 5G, artificial intelligence, digital cities and smart construction sites. In China's construction field, the development trend of promoting the integration of a new generation of information technology and the construction industry is pointing the way forward for creating an upgraded version of "Built in China".

The era of intelligent construction has quietly arrived, and relevant professionals are urgently needed. According to industry forecasts, the demand for smart construction technicians is about 1 million people/year. However, the number of traditional field workers is decreasing year by year, and it is estimated that 2.35 million people will be reduced by 2025. The change of industry demand for talents will inevitably reverse the transformation of professional and technical personnel training mechanism, so it can be seen that speeding up the training of high-quality technical and technical talents is the urgent matter for the development of China's construction industry.

In 2021, the "Vocational Education Professional Directory (2021)" issued by the Ministry of Education added the intelligent construction technology major. From the education level, we took the lead in cultivating professional and technical talents in the field of intelligent construction, which opened the curtain of education. There are many famous universities nationwide offering intelligent construction majors, such as Beijing University of Technology, North China University of Technology, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Harbin Institute of Technology, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, Liaoning University of Science and Technology, Shenyang Jianzhu University, Tongji University, etc., competing to offer intelligent construction majors to enhance the core competitiveness of college graduates. For our country construction industry transformation and upgrading to contribute talent strength. Under the current wave of transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, intelligent construction has become the core engine of transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, driving the transformation and innovative development of the construction industry.

In recent years, China's economy has shifted from high-speed growth to high-quality development stage, and the construction industry urgently needs to change the extensive and high energy consumption development mode of the traditional construction industry. Promoting intelligent construction has become a key measure to promote the high-quality development of construction industry in our country, and it is also the leading way to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of construction industry and realize the modernization of construction industry. Based on the current situation analysis and policy guidance of China's construction industry, it is a general trend for the construction industry to promote intelligent construction.

In today's era of rapid development of science and technology, in the face of the international situation that is undergoing profound changes, the demand for science and technology in China's construction industry and the need to become a powerful construction country are increasingly urgent. On this basis, intelligent construction professional and technical personnel should address the national "jam neck" problem, use what they have learned, their expertise, and the accumulated knowledge reserves to solve the industry problems and solve the major national needs. The so-called "keep the army for a thousand days, use the army for a while", intelligent construction professional and technical personnel should be brave to shoulder the burden and share the worry for the country.
