"No matter how small the seedlings here are, they have the opportunity to grow into towering trees." Hu Dabai, president of the Yellow River Institute of Science and Technology, said. Today, there are 130 enterprises and entrepreneurial teams, 45 small and micro enterprises in incubation, and 15 graduate enterprises, including 3 national high-tech enterprises.
Sowing, "two skins" are twisted into "one rope"
Entering the Yellow River Institute of Science and Technology, the first class is "double innovation". More than 30 years ago, Hu Dabai, the founder of the college, spent 30 yuan to run a school, and now the assets of the school have reached 3 billion yuan.
"The school itself is an entrepreneurial legend. It makes me dare to turn my thoughts into actions. " Lou Shikun, an international college student, joined the Maker Alliance. Starting from solving the "last mile" of campus logistics, he won the first bucket of gold, and now the established company has undertaken the regional business of several Internet companies.
Integrating "double innovation" into students' blood involves the reform of teaching system. Dean Yang Xuemei introduced that the college has set up a platform for popularizing innovation and entrepreneurship education, a platform for specialized innovation and entrepreneurship education, a platform for entrepreneurship counseling and a platform for cultivating micro-entrepreneurship, and provided "double innovation" courses and training suitable for actual combat.
Lei, a student of the College of Applied Technology, is an expert in innovation. Small 3D printer, simple laser engraving machine ... After two years in school, he has completed dozens of inventions, and the school has set up a "smooth road maker studio" for him. In the summer of 20 15, the bidirectional DC-DC converter designed by Lei won the first prize in the National Electronic Design Competition for College Students.
How to twist innovation and entrepreneurship and professional education from "two skins" into "one rope" Yang Xuemei concluded that the key is to get through the "four doors" of cultivating innovation and entrepreneurship awareness, innovation and entrepreneurship spirit and culture, and integrate innovation and entrepreneurship education into the whole process of cultivating professional talents, strengthening practical ability and incubating projects.
Deep cultivation, let every seedling grow sturdily.
A few years ago, Wei Li, a student majoring in architectural engineering, had a golden idea on the road. "I want to be a portable means of transportation." Wei Li then chose automation engineering as his major, and worked with his teacher to tackle key technical problems and develop a unicycle with independent property rights. Today, Weili's products are sold to more than 50 countries with an output value of nearly 100 million yuan.
Walking in the Yellow River Institute of Science and Technology, next to the blooming lotus pond is the entrepreneurial "DreamWorks" jointly built with the Erqi District Government-"U Chuanggang". The whole chain of innovation and entrepreneurship incubation of "Maker Factory-Creative Space-Incubator-Accelerator-Industrial Park" has been formed here, and five service platforms, including public comprehensive service, professional technical support and technology and finance service, have been established. Zhengzhou Intellectual Property Office set up a station in the park; The Erqi District Government set up a small and micro enterprise service center on campus to assist 28 enterprises to complete the filing of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises, and strive for entrepreneurship subsidies for more than 30 college students ... With the support of the financial platform, good ideas will not be sold. The Alumni Association has set up a fund pool for innovation and entrepreneurship, with the fund pool of Henan Alumni Association Enterprise Federation alone reaching 20 million yuan. At present, there are more than 70 projects and teams in Zhongchuang Space, 80% of which are from our teachers and students. There are 130 enterprises and teams in the industrial park, and the annual output value of 15 enterprises exceeds10 million.
Precision drip irrigation, escorting "makers"
Graduates engaged in design work are the "mentors" of Ma, a student at school. Ma initially named the brand "Baicaoyuan", which may involve infringement; When the company was founded, young people didn't sign any agreements with their brothers' loyalty. Cheng Dongdong defused similar risks.
Entrepreneurship is different, how to help accurately? In the Yellow River Institute of Science and Technology, the "last mile" was completed by the "alumni tutor". As the only authorized certification point for entrepreneurial consultants in the province, the college selects outstanding alumni entrepreneurs to form "entrepreneurial tutors" to guide students from team management, project development and technical support.
Facing the invitation of Harvard Business School, Zhao Jie, a graduate of 20 14, chose to give up and stay in school to start a business. "I was fascinated by VR at the time. Studying abroad can be retaken, and if you miss the market opportunity, you will not come again. " Zhao Jie said. With the help of the school, he quickly formed a team and earned the first bucket of gold160,000 yuan. "What the school conveyed to me is not that everyone should succeed in starting a business, but that everyone should have a sense of innovation and entrepreneurship." Zhao Jie said.
"Cultivating innovative talents is not just a course. Schools should establish the concept of' innovative teaching' and let every teacher participate in it for a long time. " Hu Dabai said.
Yu Xin 'an, president of Henan Innovation and Development Research Institute, believes that the "double innovation" of colleges and universities has two meanings. First, colleges and universities rely on their own scientific research strength to become "double innovation" positions; Second, colleges and universities cultivate applied talents that meet the needs of the times. He believes that at present, "double innovation" has set off an upsurge in colleges and universities, but there are still many obstacles. The top-level design lacks the lead department of unified management, and the management of teachers and students also needs more flexible institutional mechanisms. "College students are the most dynamic' makers' group, with knowledge, dreams and actions. If these problems can be solved, the campus will become the source of vitality created by China. " Yu Xin 'an said.
Only by continuous innovation can we meet a better future.
