Under the background of the construction of new liberal arts, environmental design majors are facing the transformation needs of interdisciplinary integration, technological empowerment and social demand docking. Local colleges and universities are in urgent need of reconstructing the curriculum system due to the problems of solidified curriculum structure, superficial application of technology, lack of regional culture inheritance and insufficient collaboration between industry and education. Taking the construction of interdisciplinary curriculum group as the core, it is proposed to integrate the knowledge of art, science and technology and humanities, develop regional culture course modules, deepen the mechanism of industry-education integration, and build a practical platform combining virtual and real and a digital teaching ecology. Through the iteration of teachers, the synergy of multiple subjects and the dynamic evaluation system and other safeguards, we promote the transformation of the environmental design major to the direction of “art + science and technology + humanities” composite, cultivate composite talents with innovation ability, cultural consciousness and social responsibility, and help local universities to connect with the strategy of the new liberal arts and the needs of the industry frontiers.
