Abstract:

Presently, the practical teaching system for chemistry and chemical engineering students faces challenges such as a weak theoretical foundation, a disconnect between theory and practice, and a mismatch between knowledge and innovative skill application. To address these issues, a binary combination strategy integrating theory-engineering and research-teaching is proposed, aligning with emerging engineering education paradigms. This approach allows for a more comprehensive and reinforced knowledge system, achieved by merging theory with practice. Both real and virtual training methods are employed to enhance experimental skills. Furthermore, amalgamating scientific research with industry-focused education elevates the practical proficiency of students. Investigating this holistic approach to practical education, tailored to societal demands and talent growth, offers a more robust method for cultivating innovative and skilled graduates in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering.
