With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, engineering drawing courses in application-oriented universities face problems such as too much theory, lagging teaching methods, and disconnection between students' practical abilities and social needs. Based on the background of artificial intelligence technology and the current demand for talent in engineering technology, the teaching status and challenges of engineering drawing courses are systematically analyzed. The core reform path of optimizing the curriculum system, innovating teaching methods, strengthening the construction of teachers, and improving the evaluation mechanism are suggested. Through the introduction of modular teaching, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, school-enterprise cooperation projects, and other practical measures, students' spatial imagination, drawing skills, and innovative thinking ability have been significantly improved, and their ability to solve practical engineering problems has been enhanced. The research results show that teaching reform should consider combining theory and practice. Integrating modern means such as three-dimensional modeling software and competition mechanisms stimulates students' active learning motivation. The in-depth cooperation between schools and enterprises can ensure that the teaching content is synchronized with the industry's cutting-edge technology and promote the accurate docking of talent training and industrial demands. A theoretical basis and practical reference for the reform of engineering drawing courses in application-oriented universities is achieved, and it has a positive significance for promoting the training of talent in the field of engineering technology.
