Abstract: The fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering involve both theoretical and practical components and serve as a foundational course for communication engineering students in subsequent specialized studies. This study focuses on the basic electrical and electronic engineering course and aims to construct an inquiry-based classroom teaching model by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with project-based learning. AI technologies are embedded into project practice to support students in effectively integrating electrical and electronic engineering knowledge with intelligent technologies. Through project-based learning tasks, such as the design of a cyclic festival lighting system, students are encouraged to identify problems in authentic contexts, conduct experimental investigations for verification, and consolidate knowledge through reflection and summarization. The results indicate that the integration of AI and project-based learning enhances students' understanding of electrical and electronic principles, improves their ability to apply AI technologies, and stimulates learning interest. This teaching model provides a feasible and effective pathway for the implementation of inquiry-based classrooms in electrical and electronic engineering education.
