[0002] Teaching for engineering construction scenarios is of great significance in civil engineering professional education. Whether students have solid engineering practice abilities will directly affect future engineering quality and construction safety. Therefore, in the teaching process, it is necessary to ensure that students can master the core skills of engineering construction, be familiar with the actual construction environment, improve the ability to solve engineering problems, and avoid affecting the quality of talent cultivation due to the disconnection between theory and practice.

[0003] Currently, the teaching methods for engineering construction scenarios mainly rely on classroom lectures, textbook learning, and limited experimental operations. Due to limited teaching resources, students have few opportunities for hands-on practice in actual projects and it is difficult to deeply understand the application of professional knowledge in engineering construction. At the same time, some experimental teaching still remains in the traditional stage of manual data recording and analysis, lacking real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis means, resulting in limited teaching effects and difficulty in meeting the cultivation requirements of intelligent and digital talents for modern engineering construction.

[0004] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things and sensing technologies, their applications in the field of intelligent construction have been gradually deepened. However, in the current engineering education system, teaching methods integrating sensing Internet of Things technologies are still in the exploratory stage, lacking highly systematic and practical teaching models, and it is difficult to effectively integrate advanced intelligent construction concepts into the teaching system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sensing Internet of Things teaching method and device for engineering construction scenarios to make up for the deficiencies of traditional teaching models and improve students' cognition and application abilities of engineering intelligent technologies.

In step 3, the mechanical feedback and virtual feedback based on the operations of the operation group are specifically as follows: The photosensitive sensor collects data. When the light is dim, it triggers a countdown. If the pressure sensor detects pressure within the specified time, the driving device rotates slightly to simulate the slight deformation of the row piles after the support is correctly installed.

The virtual simulation platform displays the state of the teaching device in real time according to the sensor signals and feeds back the images corresponding to the engineering construction scenarios.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Through sensors and Internet of Things technology, the present invention can simulate the situation of engineering construction scenarios in real time, providing users with a near-real experience. Compared with actual construction operations, it avoids the risks of trainees' practical training in dangerous environments and improves the safety of practical training.
