Blending learning, as a reconstruction of traditional teaching, has been proved effective in providing on-line resources and flexible in time and space. Therefore, it attracts explorations from various fields and produces several successful application cases. As an important compulsory undergraduate curriculum in China, the exploration towards a more effective and efficient entrepreneurship education never ends. The difficulties in achieving its practical objectives, in learning interdisciplinary knowledge and in tailoring different learning of statuses makes blended learning necessary in developing a better entrepreneurship education. Under the circumstance, the team from College of Biochemical Engineering, Beijing Union University has spent 10 years in exploring a successful way of application and thus accumulated experience in its presentation and integration. By taking advantage of blended learning, innovation and entrepreneurship education in Beijing Union University has succeed in developing a well-organized model to solve the difficulties. With a careful selection of contents and reasonable schedule, the team can ensure the acquisition of interdisciplinary knowledge within 32 class hours of teaching. Being innovative in APP development, ways to arouse interests and final exam form and teachers’ role playing, the team has manged to make entrepreneurship education practical and better suit individuals’ demands. Its value for reference and promotion can be testified from its stable and productive performance in both participation and awards in the recent four years competitions.
