Innovation Platforms, School-Enterprise Cooperation, Engineering Innovation, Vocational EducationAbstract
This review explores the role of innovation platforms and school-enterprise cooperations in enhancing the engineering innovation abilities of students in Henan's higher vocational education institutions. Henan has invested in over 20 innovation platforms, providing practical learning opportunities and fostering collaborations between universities, industries and government agencies. These platforms enable students to engage in real-world engineering challenges, enhancing their creativity and problem-solving skills. Additionally, school-enterprise cooperations have surged in Henan, with over 30 significant partnerships formed, offering students industry-relevant curriculum designs and practical experiences. The review also identifies challenges including outdated curricula and a lack of structured communication between educational institutions and industries. Henan’s institutions are responding by integrating technology, interdisciplinary learning and project-based methods into the curriculum. The review highlights the importance of fostering practical innovation abilities, combining theoretical knowledge with real-world application, arguing that cultivating engineering innovation abilities through experiential learning, internships and cross-sector cooperation is essential for aligning vocational education with industry demands, ultimately producing graduates equipped to meet modern market challenges.
