Research and Construction of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative Education Pattern of Design Discipline

Today’s economic development of China is facing changes in the industrial structure adjustment and upgrading. Design innovation has become an important engine to promote the development of the industrial revolution. However, compared with other countries, the Education about design discipline in China set up relatively late. With more than 40 years of development, the evolution speed of Chinese design education is not synchronized with the needs of industrial development. As a significant place of design education, there are many problems in Universities, such as unitary teaching pattern and inadequate students’ innovation and entrepreneurship training. Based on the analysis of several typical cases of innovation and entrepreneurship education in universities located in Shanghai, this paper explores to establish a “Five-in-one cooperative education pattern”, which means university, society, industry, scientific research institutions, and enterprises are supposed to cooperate closely. Moreover, by the construction of the “LCS training model” for innovation and Entrepreneurship talents, this research finds a way to optimize the teaching mode and training mechanism for innovation and entrepreneurship in the design discipline. Ultimately the design innovation will be integrated into the industrial chain which can make the design industry play a more critical role in the national innovation system.
