Cultivating innovative talents in the context of new liberal arts is a critical component of the reform and development of industrial engineering programs. This paper examines the reform of innovative talent cultivation in the industrial engineering program of a local university. By analyzing the teaching philosophy, methods, design, and models of the industrial engineering program at local universities, the current state of innovative talent cultivation is assessed. Based on this analysis, the paper identifies challenges in cultivating innovative talents in industrial engineering teaching. It proposes reform pathways that integrate multidisciplinary intersections, deep collaboration between academia and industry, and extracurricular innovation empowerment. These pathways are of significant practical importance for advancing the reform of innovative talent cultivation in industrial engineering programs under the new liberal arts framework.
