Innovative entrepreneurship education demonstrates Chinese development and changesin asmall but important way.

II. Exploration of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education in Domestic and Abroad Colleges and Universities

(i) Exploration of Innovation andEntrepreneurship Education in Foreign Universities

Through the research,it is not difficult to find that when foreign colleges and universities undertaking innovation and entrepreneurship education work,besides the attention of college leaders,they also have have a strong condition guarantee in the provision of entrepreneurship education fund, venture capital fund and educational organizations.The educational mode has the following commonalities:First,adhere to the principle of combining theory with practice;Second,the multi-level and diversified characters of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities;Third,the open education network breaks the limitations of time,place,form and other aspects and opens up a new situation of innovation and entrepreneurship education.

(ii) Exploration of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education in Chinese Ordinary Universities of Science and Engineering

With the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education,many science and engineering colleges in China began to think about the new mode of innovation and entrepreneurship education,and made countless attempts and explorations,and put forward the following methods:The first is to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship courses into the teaching system,so as to promote the normalization of innovation and entrepreneurship education.Second,colleges and universities cooperate with the government to invite entrepreneurship training institutions to conduct entrepreneurship training for students of all grades in colleges and universities. Third, various innovation and entrepreneurship competitions are held to provide a realistic and reliable platform for students to display their learning achievements.Fourth,the establishment and rise of small groups and entrepreneurial clubs.Fifth,improve the social awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship education;Sixth,actively encourage college students to start their own businesses,promote employment and promotenew economic growth points.

(iii) Exploration of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education in Chinese Comprehensive Universities

For Chinese 985 and 211 universities,those with advantages in science and engineering have significant advantages in theoretical research and technological innovation.First,these universities have many state key laboratories, such as undergraduate innovation and entrepreneurship bases,and technology research and development bases.At the same time,it undertakes the tasks of various technology development and scientific and technological projects of national,provincial and ministerial committees and enterprises,thus making them a high production area for innovation and entrepreneurship education. Secondly, these universities with advantages in science and engineering are now moving towards comprehensive universities.The majors and courses offered in universities are relatively rich,which is conducive to the cross and integration of disciplines.Rational arrangement and utilization of these advantages and resources are the key to ensure innovation and entrepreneurship education in science and engineeringuniversities.

III. Research on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Model of Science and Engineering Universities

Innovative entrepreneurship education is a complicated process,which needs to solve and deal with many problems.But it also varies from person to person,and the effect is very different.We should conduct research and analysis from a multidimensional perspective. According to the educational objectives and combining with the"formulaic" characteristics of science and engineering universities,the following models should be established to explore innovation and entrepreneurship education:T=P×S×Q[1].In which,"T"(Target)stands for educational Target;"P"(Problem)represents the project Problems to be solved;"S"(Solution)means the Solution of the project;"Q"denotes the Quality of the team.The specific research stepsareasfollows:

(i)Step)Step 11:Lookingfor Pain Problem(P)em(P)

Pain problem refers to serious problems in society that need to be solved urgently[2].According to the degree of urgency can be divided into priorities.In the formula of the research model,if the value of P(problem)is large and other factors remain unchanged,the obtained value of T(educational target)is large.General pain problem should meet the following conditions:First of all,importance-the importance of the problem directly affects the quality of the educational goal.The more important the problem is,the more it can reflect the value of the educational goal.The second is diversity-- the targets of innovation and entrepreneurship education will focus on different issues.The third is universality--maybe the goal value of the individual problem solving is not high,but if the problem is more general,the value of the problemwill behigher.

(ii)Step)Step 22:Implement Effective Solutions(S)ns(S)

Effective solutions must be exclusive and irreplaceable.Before finding a solution,we should do market research and compare the project and product solutions.At the same time,the timeliness of the solution will directly affect the target value.In addition,originality is also a way to create goals.It opens up a new solution to five situations:new product,new method,new market,new product and neworganization

(iii)Step)Step 33:Build a Quality Team(Q)am(Q)

To build a high-quality team,first of all,individuals in the team should have team spirit,sense of responsibility and mission;Secondly,college students should actively promote the integration of specialization and have a keen insight into national policies and market trends.In addition,college students also need to hone their will,to have views,enthusiasm,efficiency and conscience;Take lifelong learning as the goal of life,always maintain asenseof crisisand vigilance.

IV.The Dialectical Relationship Between the Core Elements of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Science and Engineering Universities

Through research,it can be found that opportunity, entrepreneurial ability and entrepreneurial culture are the three core elements of innovation and entrepreneurship education in universities of science and engineering.If the entrepreneurial ability of the organization is strong,it is more conducive to the cultivation of entrepreneurial culture,and employees are more inclined to start businesses.When an organization has a strong corporate culture,its employees should not only pay attention to entrepreneurial opportunities,but also to accumulate their own social capital.Always keep a strong curiosity about new things,study hard,and constantly improve their entrepreneurial ability.Of course,with these three core elements,the mere possibility of starting a businessdoesn"t mean you can succeed.

V.The Prospect of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education in Science and Engineering Universities

Under the current situation of double entrepreneurship and innovation education is imperative,there are some problems in universities of science and engineering,such as disconnection from innovation and entrepreneurship education,lack of full-time management,poor interests and low efficiency. In addition, the regional characteristics are not significant,the lack of practical platform,guidance and assistance is not in place,the effect is not strong.We should carry out in-depth reform from multiple and diversified perspectives,boldly implement the innovation strategy,and establish a multi-level and threedimensional education system for innovation and entrepreneurship model.From creator space to creator school,planned and targeted creator activities will be carried out to promote the advent of maker era.

At the same time, the problems and contradictions in the process of innovation and entrepreneurship education of science and engineering are dialectically viewed from the third perspective by using the second space thinking.First of all,the multi-dimensional concept should be explored,to form a new concept of postentrepreneurship innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities.While training self-employed entrepreneurs,innovation and entrepreneurship education focuses more on training post-entrepreneurs.Secondly,a new university innovation and entrepreneurship base construction system should be established through different level anf different classes,to maximize the innovation and entrepreneurship education for all students and expand the benefits of innovation and entrepreneurship education.To establish a new mechanism for the deep integration of innovation and entrepreneurship education and professional education,the resources of the experimental area should be fully combined with the national and provincial innovation,entrepreneurship education and professional education.We should constantly improve the use and support system of innovation and entrepreneurship bases,establish innovation and entrepreneurship education institutions that can operate effectively,and maximize the management efficiency of innovation and entrepreneurship education.Finally,the collaborative mechanism of"space+culture"should be established.Space is a new system for the development of creative space in colleges and universities,it is also the construction of progress and three- dimensional structure innovation and entrepreneurship education.In order to build an innovative university of science and technology,improve the comprehensive quality of talents,we should constantly seeking knowledge and exploration.
