Abstract: With the development of the chemical engineering and new materials fields, the practical application skills of masters majoring in materials and chemical have grown significantly. Polymer Chemistry, a compulsory course for masters majoring in materials and chemical engineering, suffers from a lack of practical engagement, low exploratory depth, and poor student motivation. To address these issues, this reform introduces and intensifies experiment in polymer chemistry, innovates teaching methods and models, and establishes an engineering-based experimental teaching evaluation system. This reform is beneficial for improving the innovation capabilities, practical entrepreneurship and complex engineering problems-solving abilities for graduate students.

Key words: Materials and chemical engineering, Polymer chemistry, Experiment-intensified, Teaching reform
