With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, traditional vocational undergraduate education faces an urgent need for transformation and innovation. This paper aims to explore the development paths of vocational undergraduate education within the context of intelligent manufacturing. By analyzing existing literature and practical cases, we summarize the core competencies and skills required for vocational undergraduate education in the era of intelligent manufacturing. Coupled with industry demands, we propose corresponding curriculum design, teaching methods, and school-enterprise cooperation models. The research indicates that vocational undergraduate education must enhance practical teaching related to intelligent manufacturing and promote the integration of industry and education to cultivate high-level technical and skilled talents that meet the requirements of the new era. This paper provides theoretical support and practical references for the reform of vocational undergraduate education.
