In the context of modern holistic education, integrating “ideological and political education” into specialized courses is a new requirement for professional teaching. In order to seamlessly integrate ideological education into academic disciplines through subtle influence, it is essential to identify and design suitable ideological elements. Based on the interdisciplinary nature of chemical engineering curricula, this paper focuses on core socialist values, patriotic sentiment, professional ethics, and the spirit of scientific innovation. It identifies key ideological elements such as “a strong chemical industry makes a strong nation” and “patriotism and maritime power,” analyzes their manifestations of value, and explores their relevance and significance in ideological education across different chemical engineering courses.
