ABSTRACT

Under the national background of deepening industry-education integration and industrial transformation[1], Tencent Cloud Industry College at Guangdong University of Science and Technology explores pathways for cultivating application-oriented innovative talents to address the disconnection between traditional education and industrial demands. By integrating resources from universities and enterprises, the college constructs a "1+2+N" industry-education integration ecosystem model and develops a four-chain integrated curriculum system ("industry chain-talent chain-education chain-innovation chain"). Leveraging Tencent Cloud’s technological advantages, modular courses and practical training platforms aligned with real-world industrial scenarios are established. Innovations include a dual-qualified faculty mechanism (combining academic and industry expertise), a research-driven teaching model, and industry evaluation standards such as "code volume metrics," forming a distinctive education system characterized by "cloud-industry focus, research-driven innovation, craftsmanship cultivation, and agile learning." Significant outcomes include enhanced employability of students in the "Elite Engineer Program", with graduates’ average salaries exceeding industry standards. The college has co-developed 18 industry-aligned courses, secured over 90 competition awards, and increased the proportion of dual-qualified faculty to 80%. This study provides a replicable "cloud paradigm" for local universities to overcome industry-education barriers and support regional economic development. Future efforts will focus on dynamic curriculum adaptation to technological advancements and deepening collaborative ecosystems.
