Abstract: In the context of emerging engineering education, traditional organic chemistry instruction faces substantial pedagogical challenges. This study proposes and implements five innovative teaching models: 1) differentiated flipped classroom; 2) authentic project-based learning; 3) competition-based learning; 4) modular teaching; and 5) web-assisted instruction. Through detailed case studies, the paper elucidates implementation strategies while emphasizing transformative innovations in organic chemistry pedagogy. The research objectives focus on effectively stimulating student engagement and developing high-quality interdisciplinary professionals capable of addressing complex engineering problems.
