Abstract: Exploration and Practice of Ideological and Political Education in the basic theoretical course “Surface Physical Chemistry” for graduate students in the discipline of chemical engineering was conducted. By leveraging the research achievements and engineering application cases of our school relevant to the course content as the entry points for ideological and political education, we designed ideological and political contents, determined ideological and political goals, and developed a comprehensive “321” model that integrates the ideological and political education throughout the course. Guided by the “Spirit of the Congratulatory Letter” and the “Spirit of Harbin Institute of technology (HIT)”, we implemented a holistic approach to ideological and political education encompassing in-class, out-of-class, and extracurricular activities, which aligned the teaching and ideological goals of graduate courses with the demand for cultivating high-level leading talents.

Key words: Course ideological and political education in graduate course, Surface physical chemistry, “Spirit of the Congratulation Letter”, “Spirit of HIT”, Talent cultivation
