“…Thus, the development of the knowledge dimension also indirectly acts on the improvement of the innovation ability. By improving the skill level, smart construction students can improve their skill level and thereby be more able to adapt to society and meet its changing needs more quickly [ 99 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the application of DLL in engineering education.…”

“…Global awareness is a habit of mind that focuses on understanding and grasping the trends of the times [ 98 ]. Intercultural communication skills of smart engineering students cannot be developed without knowledge input and the practices of global engineering programs and immersive research experience abroad [ 99 ]. From the informative dimension of the digital linguistic landscape, it covers a wide range of information on humanities and history at home and abroad, as well as a wide range of languages, providing a global range of resources and a wide range of channels for inputting knowledge.…”

This study investigates the mechanism of digital linguistic landscapes in enabling engineering education for smart construction according to the educational dimensions of A (ability), S (skill), and K (knowledge). A questionnaire survey was conducted based on the core concepts of the informative dimension and symbolic dimension in digital language landscape as well as the ability dimension, knowledge dimension, and skill dimension in engineering education. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used as the test method. The results of the research demonstrate that the informative dimension and symbolic dimension are two main aspects of DLL in education of engineering students for smart construction. Additionally, DLL has a significant positive impact on the ability, knowledge, and skill education of engineering students for smart construction. The research has theoretical and practical significance, as it not only enriches research on the relationship between DLL and engineering education for smart construction but also expands the theoretical understanding of engineering education from the perspective of linguistics. Furthermore, the study explores the path of the practical application of digital language landscape to engineering education for smart construction.
