Discover how Shenzhen Polytechnic boosts hands-on AI skills with the Modular AI Training Platform, an advanced teaching solution for real-world learning and vocational innovation.
Case Overview
To keep pace with the rising demand for skilled AI professionals, Shenzhen Polytechnic deployed a Modular AI Training Platform tailored to vocational education. This solution empowers students to gain practical AI experience through modular, industry-oriented experiments, bridging the gap between theory and job-ready skills. This article outlines the deployment process, features, and six powerful advantages of implementing this platform at one of China’s most renowned vocational institutions.
About the Institution
Shenzhen Polytechnic (SZPT), located in the heart of China’s innovation hub, is a national leader in higher vocational education. The school is known for its strong ties to local industries and emphasis on applied learning. SZPT has been listed in the China High Vocational Colleges Rankings and maintains strategic partnerships with technology giants in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data focuses on training students in machine learning, edge computing, and human-computer interaction. Facing rapid industry changes, the department sought a comprehensive and scalable AI teaching system.
Challenges in Vocational AI Education
Before implementing the Modular AI Training Platform, the institution faced several key obstacles:
- Lack of Modular, Scalable Tools: Existing labs could not support different AI modules or cross-disciplinary teaching needs.
- Fragmented Course Design: AI theory and practical training were taught separately, affecting learning outcomes.
- Insufficient Hardware for Edge AI: Students lacked exposure to edge AI deployment environments like Ascend or Jetson.
- Limited Teaching Resources: Faculty spent excessive time customizing experiments without standardized teaching kits.
These challenges hindered the institution’s ability to offer modern, industry-relevant AI training at scale.
