1. Introduction

In recent years, clean energy as sustainable energy is in a period of rapid development, and a large number of innovative and entrepreneurial talents are urgently needed. Therefore, innovation and entrepreneurship education has gradually begun to appear frequently in the education of clean energy major in colleges and universities [1]. However, the increase in quantity has not brought about quality improvement, and the quality of development has been uneven. The sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities faces many challenges [2]. ‘Sustainable development theory’ appears frequently in the field of economic and social research, but because the innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities has been vigorously promoted in recent years, the research from the perspective of sustainable development theory is rare. The main task of higher education for the major of clean energy is to improve the quality of education, promote the all-round development of education objects, and then transport more talents for the development of the clean energy industry [3]. First of all, the quality of college education is reflected in the quality of college education itself, which should be consistent with the direction of social development and committed to brand building with certain competitiveness and influence. Secondly, the quality of college education is also reflected in the quality of individual cultivation of college students, that is, college education can promote the development of individuals and cultivate useful talents for the society. The relationship between higher education and sustainable development is one of complementarity and mutual promotion, and students are the link and bridge between the two. Therefore, it is of great significance to deeply understand the value orientation of “people-oriented” higher education development, follow the objective law of education development and the theory of sustainable development, and deal with the relationship between the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major and the development of students, colleges and universities, and economic and social development [4]. Especially at this stage, innovation and entrepreneurship education is developing from focusing on the scale of education to improving the quality of education, and it is more necessary to implement the concept of sustainable development [5]. To further realize the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities, and better play the role of education, it is necessary to scientifically evaluate sustainability, so as to find out the problems existing in the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities, and provide reference and suggestions to improve sustainability.
Existing studies show the importance of clean energy development [6,7,8]. It can be also found that using fossil fuels for energy has to be changed in the near future [9]. There is no relevant research on the sustainability evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities, but there have been studies on the connotation and role of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Jonsdottir [10] studied the situation of innovation and entrepreneurship education in Icelandic colleges and believed that innovation and creative thinking, as necessary tools to improve students’ entrepreneurial ability, formed a unity of innovation and entrepreneurship education, and put forward that innovation education and entrepreneurship education are two sides of a coin. Cruz et al. [11] studied the impact of entrepreneurship education projects on innovation. It is believed that students receiving management education and entrepreneurship education have more innovative ability than ordinary people, and those who have received professional innovation education and entrepreneurship education are more likely to succeed in their work. In addition, studies on other aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship education have begun to emerge. For example, Beiler [12] believed that the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) implemented in the United States integrates the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship into professional courses, which can cultivate students’ innovative entrepreneurial thinking and problem-solving ability, and begin to evaluate students’ innovative thinking and cooperation ability based on their internship scores in schools or enterprises. Mars [13] evaluated the quality of agricultural innovation and entrepreneurship education teachers, and considered that agricultural teachers’ innovation and entrepreneurship awareness and practical ability should be used as evaluation indexes of innovation and entrepreneurship education. The quality of teachers’ innovation and entrepreneurship and the implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship education directly affect the cultivation of students’ innovation and entrepreneurship awareness and the formation of innovation and entrepreneurship literacy. Cultivating an excellent teaching staff of innovation and entrepreneurship education is the key to the implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship. Herstatt et al. [14] believed that the evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education is an integral part of education evaluation, and evaluates graduate students’ entrepreneurship education through the Global Innovation Management plan. The evaluation indexes include students’ behavior, innovation intention, knowledge acquisition, and skill return, which involve process evaluation and result evaluation. Through the above analysis, it can be found that the connotation of innovation and entrepreneurship education is gradually clear, and the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship education evaluation is increasingly prominent [15]. However, research on the evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education remains to be deepened, especially the lack of systematic, comprehensive, and scientific research on the sustainability evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education. Therefore, this paper develops an evaluation system that can quantitatively analyze the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities.
On the evaluation method, the existing evaluation methods have important reference value for the sustainable evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities. By combing and analyzing the relevant comprehensive evaluation methods, it can be found that the evaluation methods mainly include classical evaluation methods and modern intelligent evaluation methods. Classical evaluation methods [16] include entropy weight method, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, set pair evaluation method, principal component analysis, ideal point method, etc. Modern intelligent evaluation methods [17] mainly include the back propagation neural network (BPNN) evaluation method and support vector machine (SVM) evaluation method. In consideration of the fact that the classic evaluation method is relatively mature and the calculation result is more accurate, but the calculation process is more complicated, and the modern intelligent evaluation method can quickly and accurately process massive real-time data. This paper intends to combine the classical evaluation method and modern intelligent evaluation method to evaluate the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities. Set pair analysis (SPA) can be used to characterize the internal correlation between sets [18], and the variable fuzzy set method (VFS) can describe the dynamic changes between sets [19] in detail. Therefore, the combination of SPA and VFS can be applied to the sustainability evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities. The index weight determination in the SPA and VFS coupling model is particularly important, which is worthy of further discussion. In this paper, an improved set pair analysis-variable fuzzy set coupling evaluation model (SPA-VFS) is established by coupling rank method [20] with entropy weight method [21]. In modern intelligent evaluation methods, the BPNN evaluation method has the problems of slow convergence and easy to fall into local optimum [22]. The SVM evaluation method is difficult to obtain ideal prediction accuracy when dealing with large-scale training samples [23]. Generalized regression neural network (GRNN) is a radial basis function neural network proposed by Specht, which has a strong ability of nonlinear mapping [24]. Compared with BPNN and SVM, GRNN has fewer adjustment parameters, is not easy to fall into a local minimum, and is good at dealing with large-scale training samples [25]. In addition, GRNN has an advantage in forecasting volatile data [26]. Therefore, this paper selected the GRNN model for intelligent evaluation. However, the smoothing factor selection is blind in the basic GRNN model [27], so it is necessary to select the appropriate intelligent algorithm to optimize it. The bat algorithm is a new bionic intelligent optimization algorithm proposed by Yang in 2010 [28]. The algorithm realizes the search of the population in solution space by simulating the predation behavior of bats. Compared with swarm intelligence optimization methods such as particle swarm optimizer (PSO) algorithm, the algorithm has the advantages of a simple model, fewer control parameters, and fast convergence speed, but it also has the disadvantages of easily falling into local optimum and poor population diversity [29]. Considering that the introduction of a Tent chaotic map can further enhance the global optimization ability of the bat population, this paper uses Tent chaotic map to improve the basic bat algorithm, and proposes a chaotic bat algorithm (CBA), in order to improve the global convergence of the population and improve its performance, and uses CBA algorithm to optimize GRNN model.
The main contributions of this article are the following:
(1)
The evaluation index system of the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities is constructed from four aspects: environment, investment, process and result, which solves the problem of what aspects of the sustainability of the innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities are mainly reflected.

2. Sustainability Evaluation Criteria System for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education of Clean Energy Major in Colleges and Universities

2.1. Sustainable Evaluation Index System

To implement the sustainable evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities, it is needful to first clarify the connotation of the evaluation object. The innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy majors in colleges and universities studied in this paper takes undergraduate education as the research object, and takes both professional theory and professional practice into account. According to the research status at home and abroad, this paper interprets the innovation and entrepreneurship of clean energy major as in-novation-based entrepreneurship in the field of clean energy-related major. Innovation is the premise of entrepreneurship, and it is all activities that can bring new value to resources. It is not only technological innovation but also includes management innovation, knowledge innovation, process innovation, marketing innovation, etc. The innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major is based on innovation-based entrepreneurship education [30]. On the one hand, the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major in colleges and universities is reflected in the sustainable development of individual cultivation of clean energy major in colleges and universities. That is to say, it can combine the training objectives of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy major to cultivate the management ability of clean energy major in colleges and universities, promote the development of individuals, improve comprehensive management quality, and cultivate compound senior management talents with the concept of sustainable development for clean energy enterprises [31]. On the other hand, it is reflected in the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities. It should be consistent with the direction of social development and energy revolution and be committed to the shaping of brands. It should be consistent with the school-running mechanism, management system, layout structure, faculty, discipline construction, school-running scale, school-running level, and its own development mechanism and ecological environment, so as to make it competitive and influential, and enable students of clean energy major in colleges and universities to truly benefit, so as to realize the “win-win” sustainable development of the subject and object of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major [32]. On the basis of understanding the connotation of sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities, according to the logical relationship between each index, the sustainable evaluation index system of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities is constructed, as shown in Table 1. The evaluation index system includes 4 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators, and 28 third-level indicators. The four first-level indicators are the innovation and entrepreneurship education environment of clean energy major in colleges and universities, the innovation and entrepreneurship education investment of clean energy major in colleges and universities, the innovation and entrepreneurship education process of clean energy major in colleges and universities, and the innovation and entrepreneurship education results of clean energy major in colleges and universities.

3. Construction of Classical Evaluation Model

3.1. Weight Calculation Model Based on Combined Entropy Weight Rank Order Method

The entropy weight method reflects the amount of information according to the information entropy of the evaluation index, so as to determine the weight of each index in the evaluation system, but sometimes the random interference of the data itself will lead to the lack of real reliability of the calculated weight [33]. The rank order (RO) method can rank the normalized mean values of each index from large to small, and the weight obtained by rank can objectively reflect the influence degree of evaluation index on evaluation objects [34]. In this paper, the entropy weight method and RO method are combined, and the combination entropy weight rank order method is proposed, and the weight obtained is more realistic.

3.1.1. RO Method

The specific steps of RO method are as follows [35]:
  • Data normalization processing.
There are various types of indicators, including maximal indicators, minimal indicators and interval indicators. Maximal indicators reflect the development trend of evaluation index, the index increases, the higher the level of sustainable development; On the contrary, very small indicators show that the indicators increase, the lower the level of sustainable development. In order to facilitate the calculation and analysis, the values of each index must be consistent, so as to facilitate the comparison and selection of each scheme, and then get the evaluation results of each scheme. After analyzing the index system constructed in this paper, it is found that all evaluation indexes are maximal indicators. Due to the large differences in the attributes and quantity levels of the original data indicators, it is necessary to normalize each indicator. Let the evaluation sample set be x i j i = 1 , 2 , , m ; j = 1 , 2 , , n . The calculation formula is as follows:
x i j = x i j min x i j max x i j min x i j ,
where, x i j is the normalized value of x i j ; max x i j and min x i j are the maximum and minimum values in the sample set respectively.
2.
The average value x i ¯ ( i = 1 , 2 , , m ) of each evaluation index sample was calculated by x i j , and sorted by size, with the serial number R i . The maximum number corresponds to number m , and the minimum number corresponds to number 1. Order number R i is rank, and the greater the value, the greater the impact of the index on the evaluation object.
3.
Calculate the weight of each index ω ( 1 ) i ( i = 1 , 2 , , m ) , namely:
ω ( 1 ) i = R i / i = 1 m R i ,

3.1.2. Entropy Weight Method

The information entropy H i and weight ω ( 2 ) i of each index are calculated, namely [36]:
k = 1 / ln n ,
f i j = x i j / j = 1 n x i j ,
H i = k j = 1 n f i j ln f i j ,
ω ( 2 ) i = 1 H i / m i = 1 m H i ,
when f i j = 0 , f i j ln f i j = 0 .

3.1.3. Combination Weight Calculation

Combined weights ω ( 1 ) i calculated by weights ω ( 2 ) i and ω i :
ω i = ω ( 1 ) i ω ( 2 ) i / i = 1 m ω ( 1 ) i ω ( 2 ) i ,

3.2. SPA-VFS

In this paper, VFS coupling evaluation theory is used to improve set pair analysis, and SPA-VFS model is constructed. The model considers the multi-scale fuzzy relationship between the evaluation index value and the grade standard, and pays attention to the influence of the evaluation index on the evaluation object. The basic steps are as follows.
  • Determine the evaluation index x i ( i = 1 , 2 , , m , m is the number of evaluation indexes) and evaluation grade standard of the evaluation object [hig−1, hig] (i = 1,2,..., m; g = 1,2,..., C; C is the number of grade).
  • Based on the basic principles of the set pair analysis method [37], x i j , h i g are taken as two sets and constructed as a set pair. Then analyze from three levels of similarity, difference, and opposite, and obtain the degree of connection μ i j g between the j sample under indicator i and grade g :
    μ i j g = a + b I + c J ,
    where a , b , c are similarity degree, difference degree, opposite degree, and a + b + c = 1 ; I is the coefficient of difference degree ( I [ 1 , 1 ] ), which can be reasonably determined according to the research object; J is the coefficient of contrary degree ( J = 1 ).
Considering the simplicity of connection degree calculation, the fuzziness of evaluation objects and evaluation criteria, the membership function is used to determine μ i j g , which avoids the direct calculation of a , b , c in Equation (8). If a , b , c belong to the same level, then μ i j g = 1 ; if a , b , c are adjacent grades, then μ i j g [ 1 , 1 ] ; If they belong to the interval grade, then μ i j g = 1 . The calculation formula of connection degree under five levels (1–5 levels represent low, relative low, average, relative high, high) is as follows.
μ i j 1 = 1 x i j h i 1 1 2 x i j h i 1 h i 2 h i 1 h i 1 < x i j h i 2 1 x i j > h i 2 ,
μ i j 2 = 1 2 h i 1 x i j h i 1 x i j h i 1 1 h i 1 < x i j h i 2 1 2 x i j h i 2 h i 3 h i 2 h i 2 < x i j h i 3 1 x i j > h i 3 ,
μ i j 3 = 1 x i j h i 1 1 2 h i 2 x i j h i 2 h i 1 h i 1 < x i j h i 2 1 h i 2 < x i j h i 3 1 2 x i j h i 3 h i 4 h i 3 h i 3 < x i j h i 4 1 x i j > h i 4 ,
μ i j 4 = 1 x i j h i 2 1 2 h i 3 x i j h i 3 h i 2 h i 2 < x i j h i 3 1 h i 3 < x i j h i 4 1 2 x i j h i 4 h i 5 h i 4 x i j > h i 4 ,
μ i j 5 = 1 x i j h i 3 1 2 h i 4 x i j h i 4 h i 3 h i 3 < x i j h i 4 1 x i j > h i 4 ,
where, h i 1 , h i 2 , h i 3 , h i 4 , h i 5 is the boundary value of each index grade standard.
It can be seen from Equations (9)–(13) that μ i j g makes full use of the same, different and opposite information of x i j and h i g .
3.
The comprehensive connection u j g between sample j and evaluation grade g can be obtained by weighting μ i j g and index weight ω i :
μ j g = i = 1 m ω i μ i j g ,
where, ω i 0 , 1 is the weight of the i index. μ i g 1 , 1 , u j g values closer to −1, reflecting the smaller consistency between sample j and evaluation grade g ; The closer the u j g value is to 1, the greater the consistency between the two is.
4.
The relative membership γ j g between sample j and evaluation grade g is calculated. From the meaning of μ j g , μ j g can be regarded as the relative difference in VFS model. VFS model shows that the relative membership degree of sample j and evaluation grade γ j g is:
γ j g = 1 + μ j g / 2 ,
According to the maximum membership criterion, the evaluation grade of the evaluation sample can be estimated by using γ j g , but the maximum membership principle is easy to cause estimation errors. Generally, the grade identification is carried out according to the grade eigenvalue h j :
h j = g = 1 C g γ j g / g = 1 C γ j g ,
where, h j is the level eigenvalue corresponding to sample j , h j [ 1 , C ] .
The evaluation grade of the evaluation sample is calculated according to the following formula:
s =   round   h j ,
In the formula, s is the evaluation level of the evaluation sample.
To sum up, the classic evaluation model process based on SPA-VFS is shown in Figure 1.

4. Construction of Intelligent Evaluation Model

4.1. GRNN

GRNN is proposed by an American scholar Donald F. Specht in 1991, with the theoretical basis of nonlinear regression analysis. As shown in Figure 2, GRNN constitutes four components [38]:
  • The input layer: the original variables enter the network which correspond to the neurons one by one and are submitted to the next layer.
  • The pattern layer: nonlinear transformation is applied to the values received from the input layer. The transfer function of the i neuron in the pattern layer is:
P i = exp [ ( X X i ) T ( X X i ) / 2 σ 2 ] i = 1 , 2 , n ,
where X represents input variable, x i is the learning sample corresponding to the i neuron; σ is the smoothing parameter.
3.
The summation layer: calculate the sum and weighted sum of the pattern outputs.
The summation layer contains two types of neurons, in which one neuron S A makes arithmetic summation of the output of all pattern layer neurons, and the connection weight of each neuron in the pattern layer to this neuron is 1. Its transfer function is:
S A = i = 1 n P i ,
The output of all neurons in the pattern layer were weighted and summed to gain the other neurons S N j in the summation layer. The transfer function of the other neurons in the summation layer is:
S N j = i = 1 n y i j P i j = 1 , 2 , , k ,
where y i j is the connection weight between the i neuron in the pattern layer and the j neuron in the summation layer. And y i j is the i element in the i output sample y i .
4.
The output layer: the forecasting results can be derived. Output of each neuron is:
y j = S N j s A j = 1 , 2 , , k ,
where y i is the output of the j neuron.

4.2. Chaos Bat Algorithm

4.2.1. Basic Bat Algorithm

In the basic bat algorithm, each bat represents a feasible solution in the solution space, and iteratively updates the frequency, speed, pulse emission rate, and loudness of each bat in the group to realize the search for the optimal solution [39]. The frequency, velocity and position iteration formula of each bat in the BA algorithm are as follows [40].
f i = f min + f max f min β v i t = v i t 1 + x i t 1 x f i x i t = x i t 1 v i t
where f i is the frequency of the sound pulse emitted by the i bat; f m a x and f m i n represent the maximum frequency value and minimum value of the sound wave pulse; β is a uniformly distributed random number between 0 and 1. v i t and x i t respectively represent the speed and position of bat i in generation t ; x represents the optimal solution currently found.
Perform a local search near the optimal solution currently searched to generate a random number r a n d 1 between 0 and 1. If r a n d   1 > r i (the pulse emission rate of bat i ), implement the following local search strategy:
x i t = x + ε A t ,
where, ε is a random number uniformly distributed between −1 and 1; A t is the average loudness of all bats in the t generation.
Then generate a random number r a n d 2 between 0 and 1. If r a n d   2 < A i (the loudness of the bat i ), and y ( x t t ) < y ( x ) , then accept the position, and update the bat i ’s loudness A i t and pulse emission rate r i t according to Equations (24) and (25):
A i t + 1 = α A i t ,
r i t + 1 = r i 0 [ 1 exp ( γ t ) ] ,
where α is the volume attenuation coefficient; γ is the pulse frequency enhancement coefficient; r i 0 is the initial pulse emission rate. For any 0 < α < 1 , γ > 0 , when the number of iterations t tends to infinity, A i t tends to 0 and r i t tends to r i 0 .

4.2.2. Chaos Strategy in Bat Algorithm

Compared with group intelligent optimization methods such as PSO Algorithm, Bat Algorithm has stronger optimization ability, but it also has the disadvantages of being easy to fall into local optimum and poor population diversity in the later stage of evolution [41]. To improve the global convergence of the population, this paper proposes a CBA based on the Tent chaotic map.
  • Tent mapping [42].
The research shows that compared with Logistic mapping, Tent mapping has better ergodicity and randomness. The mathematical expression of Tent chaotic mapping is:
z k + 1 = 2 z k 0   z k 0.5 2 ( 1 z k ) 0 . 5   z k 1 ,
2.
Initialization of bat position using Tent chaotic map.
Compared with the randomly generated initial population, the diversity of bat population can be improved by using Tent chaotic mapping to initialize the population. The steps are as follows:
(1)
Generate D random numbers between 0 and 1 to form the initial sequence z 1 = ( z 1 , 1 , z 1 , 2 , , z 1 , D ) , where D is the number of control variables.
(2)
According to the formula (27), the chaotic sequence z i is generated, and the matrix Z:
z = z 1 , 1 z 1 , 2 z 1 , D z 2 , 1 z 2 , 2 z 2 , D z N p , 1 z N p , 2 z N p , D ,
where N p is the bat population size.
Produce the initial bat population according to formula (28):
x i j , 0 = x j min + z i j ( x j max x j min ) ,
(3)
Update pulse emission rate by using Tent chaotic map
The pulse frequency enhancement coefficient γ has great influence on the optimization performance of BA algorithm. When γ is large, the global search ability of the algorithm is strong. When γ is small, although the convergence speed is accelerated, it is easy to be attracted by local optimal solution and fall into local optimum. To balance the global search ability and local mining ability of the algorithm, the Tent chaotic map is used to update the pulse emissivity, as follows:
r i t = r i 0 + ( r i ¯ r i 0 ) t t max z i 1 ,
where r i ¯ is the final pulse emissivity; t max is the maximum number of iterations.
(4)
Dynamic adaptive update speed
In the basic BA algorithm, the speed update coefficient is constant to 1, resulting in bats cannot dynamically find prey, thereby reducing population diversity Therefore, this paper adopts the following dynamic adaptive speed update method:
ω = cos π t 2 t max + π + 1 ,
v i t = ω v i t 1 + ( x i t 1 x ) f t 1 ,
where, ω is the dynamic speed update coefficient. It can be seen from Equation (30) that w is the dynamic change from 0 to 2, which can further enhance the global optimization ability of bat population.

4.3. Intelligent Evaluation Process Based on CBA-GRNN

Based on the establishment of the evaluation index system and the classical evaluation model, this section proposes the CBA-GRNN intelligent evaluation model, namely, using CBA to optimize GRNN, so as to obtain the optimal value of smoothing factor, and finally obtain the evaluation results and analyze the results. The proposed intelligent evaluation framework is shown in Figure 3. The specific steps are as follows:
  • Initial input variable selection and data preprocessing. Based on the established evaluation index system, the initial input variable set is formed, and the original data of each input factor is quantified and standardized.
  • Initialize the parameters in the CBA algorithm. The population size is set to 40, the maximum number of iterations is 1000, the frequency range is [0,2], the initial loud-ness is 1.0, and the volume attenuation coefficient is 0.95.
  • The smoothing factor of the GRNN model is optimized by the CBA algorithm. The smoothing factor of the GRNN model will have an important impact on its final evaluation effect, which is related to the accuracy of the sustainable evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Therefore, this model uses the CBA algorithm to search for the smoothing factor of the GRNN model. When the number of iterations reaches the maximum, it shows that the best parameters have been obtained. If not close to the maximum number of iterations, the algorithm needs to be rerun to obtain the corresponding optimal solution set. Then the smoothing factor optimized by the CBA algorithm is used to retrain and test GRNN in the test sample set, and this parameter is adjusted again to obtain the optimal intelligent evaluation model of innovation and entrepreneurship education sustainability in colleges and universities.
  • Output intelligent evaluation results and analyze the results. Based on the above-mentioned optimal intelligent evaluation model for the sustainability of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities, the simulation carried out, and the obtained intelligent evaluation results are compared with the calculation results of the classical evaluation model.

This will be extremely detrimental to its sustainable development in the long run, and timely improvement measures should be taken. Level 2 is a relatively low level of sustainable development, indicating that the environment, investment, process, and results of the clean energy professional innovation and entrepreneurship education in universities are poor. In the long run, this will have an adverse impact on its sustainable development, and timely improvement measures should be taken. Level 3 is the average level of sustainable development, indicating that the environment, investment, process, and results of the clean energy professional innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities are average, and the level of sustainable development can continue to be improved. Level 4 is a relatively high level of sustainable development, indicating that the environment, investment, process, and results of innovation and entrepreneurship education for clean energy in colleges and universities have performed well.

5.3. Sustainability Evaluation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education of Clean Energy Major in Colleges and Universities Based on Intelligent Evaluation Model

By applying the classical evaluation model based on the combination entropy weight rank method and SPA-VFS, the objective and accurate evaluation results and grades of the sustainable development level of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in 30 sample universities are obtained. However, through the calculation process, it can be found that the calculation of the model is complex, the efficiency is low, and the workload is large. When faced with massive sample data, the method is inevitably difficult to quickly and effectively calculate the evaluation results and grades. Therefore, this paper will further use the constructed intelligent evaluation model to evaluate the 30 samples. On this basis, the intelligent evaluation results are compared with the evaluation results in the previous section to verify the effectiveness of the intelligent evaluation model. This section continues to use the data of the above 30 sample universities for empirical analysis. The data of the first 20 samples are used as training samples, and the data of the last 10 samples are used as test samples.
The experimental and modeling platform of this paper is Matlab R2014a, and the operating environment is Intel Core i5-6300U, 4 G memory, and 500 G hard disk. The self-written program is used for operation and calculation in Matlab software. It is worth noting that the important parameters of the model proposed in this paper are optimized by the CBA algorithm to ensure the accuracy and accuracy of the prediction model. The smoothing factor of the GRNN model calculated by running the program is 0.0026.
To verify the performance of the intelligent evaluation model proposed in this paper, based on the sample data, this paper uses CBA-GRNN, BA-GRNN, GRNN, BPNN, and SVM for comparative experiments. The smoothing factor of the single GRNN model is 0.16. The hidden layer transfer function of the BPNN model adopts tansig function, and the output layer transfer function adopts purelin function. The maximum training number is 200, the minimum error of training target is 0.0001, and the training rate is 0.1. The initial weights and thresholds are obtained by their own training. In SVM, the penalty parameter c is 9.689, the kernel function parameter is 0.0066, and the loss function parameter p is 3.2686.
The eigenvalues and evaluation levels of test samples obtained by intelligent calculation are shown in Table 5 and Table 6. To make the comparison clearer, draw the comparison chart as shown in Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6.
From the above comparison results, whether it is the eigenvalue calculation results or the evaluation grade calculation results, the CBA-GRNN model is used to calculate the sustainability evaluation results of innovation and entrepreneurship education of clean energy major in colleges and universities. The results of the proposed model are closest to the classical evaluation results based on SPA-VFS, and its relative error is also the smallest, followed by BA-GRNN, GRNN, BPNN, and SVM.
