Educational intervention demonstrates improved psychological outlook and life meaning in college students, suggesting entrepreneurship training mitigates empty heart syndrome.
College students with “Empty Heart Syndrome” often experience confusion, helplessness, weak learning motivation, and a lack of life meaning. Traditional higher education interventions frequently fail to address these deeper psychological and value-related problems. Taking entrepreneurship education as the entry point, this study explores its advantages in value reconstruction, competence development, and mental health support. Based on the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, a survey of 10,727 valid responses from college students is analyzed to identify meaning-related characteristics. A 32-class-hour innovation and entrepreneurship training program is then implemented with selected freshmen, and most participants show improvement in mental outlook and psychological state. The study proposes a three-dimensional governance path of value guidance, ability empowerment, and mechanism guarantee. Entrepreneurship education is integrated with ideological and political education, professional learning, project practice, and whole-process student development to rebuild meaning, strengthen self-efficacy, and enhance growth motivation. Technology-enabled project learning, including wireless communication, sensor design, and other engineering innovation contexts, can further expand its applied relevance.
