Abstract: This study investigates the implementation of 3D printing technology in the “Polymer Physics Experiments” course, emphasizing the integration of ideological and political education elements. The project employs a hybrid teaching methodology that combines lecture-based instruction with independent design components. The curriculum design extensively incorporates ideological and political elements through both historical and contemporary perspectives: examining the evolution of material processing technologies and exploring the diverse applications of 3D printing across various fields. The course introduces philosophical considerations to cultivate students' problem-solving engineering mindset, innovative leadership capabilities, and collaborative team spirit. This approach achieves a comprehensive integration of technical education and ideological-political cultivation, establishing a foundation for developing new engineering professionals with robust technical expertise, scientific literacy, and ethical integrity.

Key words: 3D printing, Polymer Physics Experiment, Ideological and Political Education in Courses, Engineering Thinking, Innovative Awareness
