Abstract

Most of the works of traditional manufacturing industry can be qualified by the skill type talents with single skill cultivated by traditional vocational education institutes. However, at present digital period, the digital manufacturing is the main stream. It is the deep cross and fusion of the digital technology and the traditional manufacturing techniques. Digital manufacturing works need not only talents with crossed and fused multiple skills, but also require the talents are capable to adapt to rapid development of digital technology. The new talents should have higher learning capacity and adaptability than traditional talents, and must have composite vocational quality. So, the personnel training objective of the traditional vocation education cannot meet the requirements of the digital period. The new digital period needs vocational and general fused undergraduate education to complete the new requirements. At present, the vocational undergraduate education in our country is mainly completed by vocational schools at the undergraduate level. However, their quantity is small, the number of students in these schools is limited, and their social recognition degree, students' ability to learn, innovate, adapt, cross and integrate cannot meet the requirements of the new era and need to be continuously advanced. The new entrants of application-oriented universities are the best choice to solve this problem. The newly promoted application-oriented universities are mostly upgraded from higher vocational colleges or junior colleges and with vocational education experience. After years of undergraduate major construction, their research ability, teacher resource strength and social recognition all achieve a certain degree of improvement. And the number of these universities is big, their scale is large. So, it is the urgently social and economic requirement for these universities to carry out the training of technical and skilled talents for the construction of digital power. And this is also the practical path to realize their self-worth.
