Reform and Practice of the “C+X” Cultivation Model for Regional Application-Oriented Innovative Talents Amid Industry-Education Integration and AI Empowerment

The development of regional application-oriented innovative talents that are consistent with local economic and social development is one of the main missions of most regional application-oriented universities in China. Over the last few years, a new generation of information technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and digital twins, has radically changed the structure of industries and talent demand trends in the country. Nevertheless, the conventional talent development model of computer science and technology majors is usually characterized by the lack of interdisciplinary integration in the curriculum design, instructional practices, and practical training, and the lack of relationship with industry demands. Consequently, there has been a growing challenge in nurturing the interdisciplinary, application-based and innovative skills needed to achieve high-quality regional economic growth. In the eyes of regional application-oriented undergraduate universities, this paper suggests and logically develops the C+X talent development model of regional application-oriented innovative talents in the framework of industry-education integration and AI-empowered education. Through an analysis of reforms and practices in training objectives, curriculum systems, teaching models, practical frameworks, and support mechanisms, this study explores a pathway toward deep industry-education integration supported by AI technologies. The current practical results indicate that the C+X model of cultivating engineering practice is effective in improving the engineering practice ability, industry flexibility, and innovative competence of students, and thus offer useful information to the redesign of talent development in computer-related majors in local application-oriented universities.
