Research on the Curriculum System of Food Technology under the Background of Applied Talent Cultivation

Abstract

With the deepening of engineering education reform, the cultivation of applied talents has become a crucial direction for optimizing university curricula. As a core component of food-related disciplines, the curriculum structure of food technology plays a decisive role in the efficiency of competence development. Focusing on the competency-oriented reconstruction of the curriculum, this study explores three dimensions: the logic of system construction, strategies for module optimization, and coordination mechanisms. A three-phase model of “Cognition–Integration–Application” is proposed to build a curriculum framework that integrates task-driven learning with competence development. By enhancing knowledge interaction among courses, aligning instructional content with technological tasks, and introducing a dynamic feedback regulation mechanism, the study forms a multi-dimensional optimization path. The aim is to promote the transformation of the food technology curriculum system toward a competence-oriented model that is structurally sound and functionally efficient, thereby providing theoretical support and structural strategies for improving the quality of talent cultivation.
