Abstract

Interdisciplinary intellectual property talents with both technical expertise and legal literacy underpin the full industrial chain of intellectual property creation, protection and commercialization. China’s higher education has developed two training paradigms: the law-centered model and the science and engineering-centered model. The law-centered path faces structural limitations including insufficient technical talent supply and disconnection between theory and practice. The science and engineering-based general education path, while alleviating supply-demand mismatch, encounters pain points of homogeneous curriculum, doctrinal teaching and inadequate practical training.

Taking Hangzhou Dianzi University as a case, this study identifies root causes via learning situation surveys, and carries out systematic reforms of modular curricula, project-based teaching and diversified evaluation under the guidance of outcome-based and tailored education. The study verifies that the science and engineering-centered paradigm better fits industrial demands, and the reform effectively improves engineering students' practical competence, providing replicable experience for similar universities.
