Research on the Strategy of Cultivating Maritime Talents in Vocational Undergraduate Programs Based on Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global shipping industry's transition toward "intelligent and green" development, vocational undergraduate maritime education must overcome the limitations of traditional training models, including "restricted practical scenarios, ambiguous skill assessments, curriculum lagging behind industry needs, and insufficient faculty qualifications". Leveraging core advantages such as
virtual simulation, data-driven approaches, and dynamic adaptation, artificial intelligence (AI) offers new pathways for cultivating compound
maritime professionals with expertise in "intelligent operations, emergency decision-making, and green maintenance". This paper analyzes the
necessity of AI empowerment in maritime talent development, identifies existing pain points, and proposes concrete strategies across four dimensions: "scenario reconstruction, capability enhancement, evaluation optimization, and collaborative coordination". By aligning vocational
undergraduate maritime education with the intelligent demands of the shipping industry, this study aims to deliver high-quality technical and
skilled professionals to the sector.
