Our society is in important transition period,the tough problem of university students' employment,has become the major issue related to the social harmony,stability and sustainable development.Under such background,to solve the university students' employment problem,it is necessary to improve the ability of college students' self-employment,job creation and encourage entrepreneurship to create more employment opportunities.For the development of higher education itself,the era of knowledge economy and the rapid development of information technology require a large number of talents with innovative spirit and creativity,higher education is the basic way to cultivate innovative talents,so the modern higher education should break the traditional concept of employment education to cultivate entrepreneurial awareness,entrepreneurial quality,entrepreneurial spirit of the innovative talents.Thus university entrepreneurship education is to adapt to innovative national construction and the needs of the development of higher education.In our country since in 1999,Tsinghua University undertook the first "challenge cup"Chinese university students business plan competition we have implemented entrepreneurship education.Now most colleges and universities have been implementing entrepreneurship education.But in terms of the status quo of implementation,due to the starting point of entrepreneurship education in our colleges and universities is low,there are relatively prominent problem in curriculum design,teacher training,evaluation system,etc.In terms of curriculum design,entrepreneurship courses in our colleges and universities are mainly elective lectures,second classroom activities or entrepreneurship competition,lack of overall systemic design.For this,the ministry of education issued documents pointing out that entrepreneurship education should insist on the principle of combining with professional teaching,and colleges and universities entrepreneurship education should organically related to professional education.Combining with professional education is a basic way to construct entrepreneurship curriculum system.The integration of professional knowledge and entrepreneurship education is more valuable,and can make the most use of student's professional skill.Stanford University is accomplished in entrepreneurship education,and has formed a unique system of entrepreneurship curriculum,especially the college courses which combine professional knowledge and entrepreneurship course.It provides entrepreneurship curriculum construction template for Chinese universities.It is worth exploring.Based on this purpose,this paper tries to study the world first-class research university Stanford University entrepreneurship curriculum system in the United States,to look for the integration mode of entrepreneurship education and professional curriculum.It can provide useful reference for research universities and other universities in our country to build entrepreneurship curriculum system.Based on the overall understanding of Stanford University entrepreneurship curriculum system,the author analyses the entrepreneurship curriculum content in the colleges of earth sciences,humanities and engineering at Stanford University to explore the professional courses and entrepreneurship education integration principle.Overall,Stanford model has the following characteristics:first,the high curriculum objectives;second,different course number among different profession;third,multiple teaching methods;fourth,diversity teachers;fifth,teaching objects mainly are students in this major;sixth,teaching evaluation focus on practice.Drawing lessons from Stanford University practical experience,the research thinks that our country in terms of the integration of entrepreneurship courses and professional courses in research universities should carry out in the five aspects:curriculum setting,curriculum objectives,curriculum content,teaching method and teaching staff.That is to say,we should set curriculum objectives based on research universities orientation,join professional knowledge into entrepreneurship curriculum content,open entrepreneurship education based on professional resources,use diversified teaching methods and construct polybasic teaching staff.By this way,we can realize the comprehensive integration of professional education and entrepreneurship education and make venture spirit seep gradually into professional teaching.
