This study examines the innovation of a collaborative education model in modern industrial colleges from the perspective of government-university-enterprise synergy, using the Intelligent Equipment Industrial College of Qiqihar University as a case. Guided by synergy theory, educational ecosystem theory, and the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework, the research constructs a three-level analytical model covering system governance, curriculum integration, and outcome evaluation. Data were collected through institutional documents, interviews, and performance records from 2022 to 2024. The results show that the Council-led governance mechanism, dual-mentor teaching system, and project-based learning significantly improve students’ engineering competence and employment relevance. The synergy among government, university, and enterprise stakeholders enhances curriculum quality, promotes research-industry collaboration, and strengthens regional innovation capacity. The findings suggest that institutionalized cooperation and competence-based evaluation are key to sustaining the modernization of application-oriented higher education in China.
