Abstract: In the new era, the development of new quality productive forces has imposed fresh demands on higher education talent cultivation. Guided by the principles of emerging engineering education, this study systematically investigates the construction and implementation of an“industry-university-research-application”integrated collaborative education model, using the communication engineering program at Dalian Minzu University as a case study. The research focuses on bridging the gap between industrial needs and talent development by establishing deep university-enterprise collaboration mechanisms, enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship education, and optimizing quality assurance systems to improve the quality of engineering talent cultivation. Key implementation strategies include joint curriculum design between universities and enterprises, the development of a“three-authentic, four-practical”(authentic projects, authentic environments, authentic assessments; practical teaching, practical training, practical innovation, practical application) hands-on learning system, and the cultivation of a“dual-qualified and dual-innovation”faculty team. Empirical results demonstrate that this model effectively aligns talent cultivation with industry demands, significantly enhances students'innovation and practical abilities, and provides replicable reform experiences for engineering education. The findings offer valuable insights for applied talent development under the emerging engineering education framework and contribute significantly to advancing higher engineering education reform.
