Abstract
With the continuous upgrading of intelligent technologies in the construction industry, the education of construction engineering majors in colleges and universities should actively adapt to the changing trend of market demand for talents and integrate automatic control technology into teaching content. As a key core device of industrial automation, the programmable logic controller (PLC) has become increasingly prominent in its position. This research focuses on the integration of the construction engineering curriculum system and the PLC technology system, and actively constructs a teaching plan for the in-depth integration of mechanical automation and construction engineering. By optimizing teaching content, innovating practical platforms, improving feedback systems, and continuously upgrading the new form of industry-university-research integration, it aims to cultivate compound talents proficient in automation technology and provide a stable talent impetus for the sustainable development of the construction industry.
