Abstract
China’s manufacturing sector is shifting toward intelligent manufacturing under national policy guidance. This shift increases the demand for advanced technical talent with strong judgment and system understanding. However, many vocational undergraduate training models remain skill-centered. This study examines how vocational undergraduate education can better serve intelligent manufacturing in China. It proposes a craftsmanship-oriented talent cultivation system. Craftsmanship is defined as a capability structure rather than a cultural concept. The study analyzes system design and implementation conditions. It shows that coordinated reform across objectives, curriculum, practice, and evaluation is necessary. It also shows that such a system is feasible under existing institutional conditions. This study provides a system-oriented framework for improving advanced technical talent cultivation in vocational undergraduate education.
