In the era of digital intelligence, labor education courses in universities need to reflect the characteristics of the times, and combine comprehensiveness, practicality, and openness. To achieve this, an innovative curriculum system is essential. Leveraging the strengths of the physics discipline, integrating project-based learning, and utilizing information technology, the course “Physics Popularization in Labor Education and Practice” integrates project-based learning and utilizes information technology tools. By emphasizing hands-on experience and the integration of theory and practice, it effectively enhances the educational outcomes. The course is outcome-oriented, with teaching objectives, instructional methods, and evaluation modes centered around student participation. Through student-designed experiments and self-produced science communication videos, various physics concepts are vividly and intuitively explained. These videos are then shared on online platforms, achieving the goal of public science communication.

It is an effective way to train new engineering talents to take the problems encountered in the teaching practice of electrostatic field as extracurricular research topics. Based on the concept of STEAM education, this paper adopts project-based learning, takes student as the main body, and takes interdisciplinary integration and innovation as the orientation, to develop teaching objectives and teaching methods. Physics theory and experimental innovation are organically integrated to guide students to design a new visual automatic surveying instrument for electric field by combining single-chip microcomputer technology and Matlab program. This instrument is easy to operate and efficient, with high measurement accuracy, and can visually display the dynamic changes of the electric field. The process of applying knowledge to practice improves students ability of innovation and comprehensive application of knowledge, and also provides new ideas for the reform of teaching in universites.
