With the rapid development of technology, intelligent education has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of education. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China explicitly proposed to promote the digitalization of education and align with the global “Education 4.0”. This article explores the application of intelligent education in practical teaching for undergraduate students majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, aiming to improve teaching effectiveness and students’ operational skills. By analyzing relevant literature, this article proposes specific application strategies for establishing a complete practical teaching system for undergraduate students majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, constructing an intelligent teaching platform for practical teaching in this field, enhancing teachers’ intelligent literacy in mechanical and electrical engineering, and innovating the intelligent teaching evaluation methods for practical teaching. These strategies can provide references for the cultivation of undergraduate students majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering in colleges and universities.
