Abstract: Chemical industry serves as both a foundational and pillar sector of the national economy, with chemical process development and design playing a crucial role in chemical production. This process is essential for restructuring industries, optimizing industrial layouts, enhancing independent innovation capabilities, and advancing circular economy. This paper proposes an innovative teaching model based on “Just-in-Time” approach, focusing on dynamically and precisely aligning with industrial needs. The green catalytic oxidation of cyclopentene to glutaric acid is presented as a case study to reform the teaching of “Chemical Process Development and Design” course. Additionally, a dynamic adjustment mechanism has been developed to align university chemical engineering curricula more closely with industry demands, aiming to provide references for the school-enterprise collaborative education.

Key words: Just-in-Time, School-enterprise collaborative education, Chemical process development and design, Teaching reform
