Abstract: This paper discusses the construction and implementation of the “competition-education integration” teaching system in the photogrammetry course. By integrating the elements of academic competitions into classroom teaching, it aims to enhance students' practical abilities and innovative thinking, and strengthen their understanding and application of professional knowledge. This paper proposes a new teaching system for the photogrammetry course, which integrates competition elements through pre-class and in-class group discussions, adopts formative and summative assessments. Finally, we introduces the construction of a competition-education practice platform based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) virtual simulation technology, enriching the teaching and virtual simulation competition resources, and enhancing students' comprehensive qualities and employability. The research shows that the “competition-education integration” model effectively improves students' learning interest and practical abilities, laying a foundation for cultivating professional talents that meet social needs.
