School-based practice serves as the cornerstone for private vocational undergraduate institutions to highlight their distinctive educational features and address homogenization issues, while innovative talent cultivation models form the critical foundation for implementing specialized curriculum systems. Current design programs in private vocational undergraduate education face challenges including disconnection from institutional resources, inadequate practical teaching, and mismatched educational approaches with industry demands, hindering the development of high-level technical professionals who combine theoretical knowledge, specialized skills, and institutional-specific competencies. This study adopts school-based practice as a starting point, aligning with the vocational orientation and practical nature of design disciplines in private vocational education. It establishes fundamental principles for constructing specialized curriculum systems, explores implementation pathways through three dimensions (course objectives, structure, and content), and innovates talent cultivation models tailored to school-based practices. By proposing targeted implementation strategies, this research aims to provide theoretical references and practical paradigms for creating distinctive, hands-on curriculum systems and educational models in private vocational undergraduate design programs.
