Abstract

The course Fundamentals of Control in Mechanical Engineering shows a mismatch: theory is heavy, experiments are demanding, and traditional teaching delivers limited results. To respond, this study develops an intelligent teaching model that integrates artificial intelligence and digital twins. The design is student centered, problem based, and supported by data. It adopts a three layer structure with a physical layer, a digital twin layer, and an intelligent application layer. The model supports realistic virtual simulation and two way interaction with physical experiments. Within this framework, we build a high fidelity digital twin system, a personalized learning engine that uses knowledge graphs and collaborative filtering, and a real time diagnostic feedback system that combines rule engines with machine learning. These components form a virtual and physical interactive, AI supported teaching model. Experiments indicate that the model improves learning and provides a practical reference for the digital transformation of basic engineering courses under new engineering initiatives.
