Abstract

IEE is a core driver for cultivating innovative talents and integrating higher education with economic and social development, but traditional single-course, theory-practice disjointed, homogeneous models fail to meet diverse needs; this study, via literature review, questionnaire and case analysis, investigates 15 universities across Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, exploring three innovative models: interdisciplinary integration (cross-field innovation literacy increased by 28-35%, interdisciplinary projects increased by 22-27%), IUR deep collaboration (practice gap reduced by 40-45%, innovative enterprise employment increased by 30%), student-centered project-driven learning (practical problem-solving ability increased by 32-38%, entrepreneurial team incubation success increased by 18-23%), providing theoretical and practical reference for high-quality IEE development and cultivating globally competitive talents.
