Abstract

Facing profound global industrial adjustments and urgent national strategic demands, China's textile printing and dyeing industry increasingly requires high-level, specialized engineering talents to effectively support its comprehensive green and intelligent transformation. By critically analyzing the existing constraints and bottlenecks prevalent in professional postgraduate education—such as the persistent disconnection between theoretical instruction and practical application, as well as the often superficial nature of industry-academia collaboration—this study proposes an innovative "Green + Intelligent" dual-core training model. This comprehensive framework systematically restructures the traditional curriculum to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge interdisciplinary knowledge, thereby ensuring that students are equipped with the latest technological advancements. Furthermore, the model significantly deepens industry collaboration through the implementation of a substantive dual-supervisor system, bridging the gap between academic research and industrial practice. It actively enhances students' engineering innovation capacity through immersive participation in specialized workshops, high-level academic competitions, and integrated industry platforms. Concurrently, pedagogical teaching methods and academic evaluation systems are fundamentally reformed to strongly emphasize project-based learning, critical thinking, and tangible practical value. Extensive practical application demonstrates that this optimized dual-core model substantially improves postgraduates' complex problem-solving skills, technological innovation ability, and overall professional competence. Ultimately, this approach supplies vital, high-quality talent essential for the sustainable upgrading of the textile industry, while simultaneously offering valuable theoretical insights and practical paradigms for the broader reform of modern engineering education.
