Abstract

In the age of information technology, high and new technology has become the core driving force of social development. This new trend requires universities and colleges to continuously increase the training of technological innovation and entrepreneurship engineering talents. In this paper, an innovation and entrepreneurship training course is innovatively designed. Based on the idea of outcome-based education, the teaching objectives of innovation and entrepreneurship are first designed. The teaching contents, teaching process and teaching evaluation methods are reversely designed based on the teaching objectives. In teaching methods and management, it reconstructs teaching ideas and pays attention to the student-centred teaching and learning, giving full play to the leading role of teachers and the principal role of students. Discipline competitions run through the whole process of course teaching. Driven by actual competitions, it uses subject contests to promote course learning and teaching, and help train engineering talents with innovative spirit and entrepreneurial spirit.

Keywords
