Exploration and Implementation of the “Integration of Innovation and Research” Pathway in Comprehensive Practical Bases

Abstract

Under the background of the deep integration of new engineering education development and innovation and entrepreneurship education, there is a widespread structural disconnection between traditional practical teaching and innovation and entrepreneurship education in terms of objectives, content, and form.This study investigates the establishment of a comprehensive “innovation and entrepreneurship + research-learning” practice base for undergraduate electronic information engineering programs, proposing a systematic pathway characterized by “three-stage progression and four-dimensional collaboration.” By constructing a three-stage educational ladder consisting of “cognitive experience, project inquiry, and innovation creation,” and supported by a four-dimensional (safeguard mechanism) encompassing “curriculum system, faculty development, platform management, and evaluation feedback,” the model systematically integrates the college’s existing industry-academy cooperation resources, spatial facilities, and information platforms. Empirical evidence confirms that this model not only provides a systematic framework for supporting multi-tiered activities, including academic competitions, innovation workshops, and science-related volunteer services, but also yields marked achievements in talent development, pedagogical innovation, and research commercialization, thereby offering a replicable and scalable paradigm for achieving deep integration of specialization, innovation, and research in application-oriented undergraduate institutions.
