Abstract In the digital and intelligent era, generative AI(especially the integration of Large Language Models/LLMs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation/RAG) leverages its capabilities in dynamic knowledge generation and personalized interaction to provide a new solution for the curriculum development of Principles of Composite Materials, making it more adaptable to the needs of project-based teaching. The curriculum constructs a three-stage pathway of “collaborative integration-hybrid optimization-physical practice” through AI technology:Utilizing LLMs to build an RAG-enhanced intelligent resource platform covering “knowledge-competence-value” , so as to realize resource reconstruction and ubiquitous learning;Designing a BLIE(Blended, Layered, Interactive, Evolutionary) segmented teaching process, where LLMs generate personalized tasks, RAG extracts industry cases, and AI-based analysis is integrated to improve students’ competencies;Conducting full-participation, whole-process, and comprehensive physical project teaching. With LLMs supporting project topic selection and AI-enabled evaluation optimizing feedback mechanisms, a systematic “topic selection-design-iteration” cycle is formed. Empirical results show that 70% of students have won awards in provincial competitions, 50% of graduates have engaged in frontline work in the materials industry, and the curriculum has been recognized as a “Provincial First-Class Curriculum” and a “Demonstration Curriculum for Ideological and Political Education in Courses” . It provides a replicable mode for the digital and intelligent reform of engineering curricula.
