Abstract: In response to the evolving demands of the “new engineering” reform and addressing existing challenges in polymer engineering education, this paper takes the teaching reform of the “Comprehensive Training in Polymer Engineering” course as an example. It introduces the implementation and evaluation of an in-depth “industry-university-research” integration model in practical course teaching. By aligning the needs and resources of “industry” and “research” with the educational processes of “university,” the approach focuses on the construction of first-class undergraduate programs in polymer materials and engineering, as well as talent cultivation requirements. This study explores a distinctive talent training model for engineering education, achieving significant teaching outcomes. The findings provide valuable insights for cultivating polymer engineering professionals and advancing engineering education reform.
