Abstract

Against the backdrop of “New Engineering,” how to strengthen students’ abilities in independent analysis, critical thinking, and innovative problem-solving while imparting traditional engineering knowledge has become a crucial issue for engineering universities in cultivating applied, interdisciplinary, and innovative chemical engineering talents. This paper expounds on the necessity of engineering education reform, outlines the importance of the “Principles of Chemical Engineering” course, and analyzes the problems existing in its teaching. Guided by the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, the paper constructs the CDIO teaching model, focuses on three aspects, teaching content, teaching methods, and teaching evaluation, and explores teaching reform strategies for the “Principles of Chemical Engineering” course. It aims to provide a reference for optimizing the teaching model of chemical engineering-related courses.
