This paper focuses on the dilemma of graduation project (thesis) topic selection in application-oriented undergraduate institutions, and conducts an in-depth exploration of the "Four-Elements Integration" (industry challenges, academic achievements, innovation and entrepreneurship projects, and employment needs) thesis topic selection model. Based on existing research findings, it deepens the precise investigation methods for industry demands, strengthens the transformation mechanism of academic achievements, and improves the evaluation system for innovation/entrepreneurship and career planning projects. By introducing cutting-edge technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, and integrating the OBE educational concept, this study constructs a graduation project topic selection model for application-oriented undergraduate institutions. The model not only improves topic selection quality but also enhances students' practical innovation capabilities, achieves deep alignment between talent cultivation and industry needs, and provides a referential practical paradigm for talent development in application-oriented undergraduate institutions.
