Abstract

Under the deepening advancement of industry-education integration, local applied undergraduate institutions must cultivate entrepreneurial talents with an industry demand-oriented approach. As a representative applied engineering institution in Gansu, Lanzhou Institute of Technology has accumulated practical experience in entrepreneurship education through SYB training. However, issues such as content detachment from industrial needs and insufficient collaboration between schools and enterprises persist. Taking the university as a case study, this paper analyzes the bottlenecks and pathways for enhancing students' entrepreneurial capabilities under industrial-education integration. The research reveals that industrial-education integration can address the shortcomings of SYB training through resource integration, scenario construction, and interest binding, while bottlenecks like inadequate content adaptability and weak faculty strength require overcoming through content optimization and faculty enhancement strategies. The findings provide valuable insights for entrepreneurship education reforms in similar institutions and contribute to the high-quality development of regional economies.
