Cultivating the craftsmanship spirit is pivotal for enhancing the quality of talent cultivation and driving industrial transformation and upgrading. This paper analyzes the intrinsic connection between industry-education integration and the cultivation of the craftsmanship spirit, explores the theoretical foundations and practical dilemmas faced by application-oriented undergraduate universities in fostering the craftsmanship spirit. It constructs a “Five-Dimensional Integrated” model for the cultivation path of the craftsmanship spirit: system construction, curriculum system, cultural infiltration, faculty development, and industry-education integration. Furthermore, it delves into innovative models for cultivating the craftsmanship spirit in application-oriented undergraduate universities in the new era.
