With the increasing proportion of digital and information-based elements in industrial technology and the rapid development of Internet+ education means, the traditional teaching means in engineering teaching have posed a huge challenge, especially in practical teaching courses, the problems of traditional teaching methods have become increasingly prominent, such as the abstraction of micro/nano scale content in practical courses, the lack of practical teaching resources, and the lack of integration of practical teaching and teaching means. This article takes the practical teaching of the professional course belonging to the mechanical material forming and control engineering major as an example. Based on digital twin technology, a concept of virtual simulation practice integrated teaching based on physical experiment big data is proposed, which realizes the teaching mode reform of practical teaching in the engineering teaching process and provides reference and guidance for other courses.
