Against the backdrop of the digital economy and the construction of a "Design Capital", the demand for "technology + art + engineering" compound talents in the digital creative industry is increasingly urgent. However, local application-oriented universities generally face dilemmas such as insufficient integration depth of arts and sciences, lagging application of digital intelligence tools, and high thresholds for school-enterprise cooperation. This study conducted an empirical survey of 342 students from three colleges of a local application-oriented university in Wuhan, and diagnosed three core gaps: the "one-way prominence" of digital intelligence tool capabilities, the serious lack of interdisciplinary practice opportunities, and the extreme shortage of project practical experience. On this basis, this study proposes the "micro-integration" theory, constructs a "three-tier progressive open-source tool teaching + biweekly micro-project driven + school-enterprise micro-collaboration" engineering practice training model, and conducts a one-year teaching reform pilot. The results show that the model has significantly improved students' engineering practice capabilities: the usage rate of core open-source tools has increased from 20% to 52%, the participation rate of interdisciplinary projects has increased from 38.89% to 85%, and the compliance rate of engineering practice capabilities has increased by 22 percentage points. This study provides a low-cost, high-efficiency replicable sample for local application-oriented universities to promote the integration of digital intelligence and arts and sciences.
