Abstract: This study addresses the pedagogical challenges encountered in polymer course instruction at the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Chongqing University. Through the establishment of an interdisciplinary teaching team spanning multiple colleges, we have developed a comprehensive curriculum system encompassing prerequisite courses, core courses, and advanced electives. The teaching content has been systematically integrated to eliminate redundancy and enhance coherence. Innovative pedagogical approaches, including case-based teaching, have been implemented to stimulate student engagement, while practical teaching components have been strengthened to improve students’ competencies. The introduction of project-based courses has effectively facilitated the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical applications. The reform initiatives have yielded significant outcomes, evidenced by substantial improvements in students’ academic performance (GPA), professional development of faculty members, and the program’s attainment of an A+ rating in the 2023 Chongqing Municipal Undergraduate Program Evaluation.
