Exploration of Teaching Reform Combining Industry, Academia, and Research in the Course of Inorganic Non-metallic Materials and Technology

Abstract

The course of Inorganic Non-metallic Materials and Technology is a crucial foundational component of the Materials Science and Engineering program, carrying both the construction of theoretical knowledge systems and the cultivation of engineering application abilities and research literacy. However, the traditional teaching model faces problems such as the disconnection between theory and practice, outdated content, and insufficient student innovation capacity, making it difficult to meet the rapid development of the materials discipline and the evolving needs of industry. Based on the integration of industry, academia, and research, this study systematically explores the teaching reform of the course. Starting from the course characteristics and teaching challenges, the research analyzes the applicability and necessity of industry–academia–research integration in materials discipline education, proposes the concept of integrating knowledge transmission, technical application, and research innovation, and further discusses approaches for course content expansion, teaching method optimization, and the cultivation of students’ comprehensive competencies. The study indicates that the integration of industry, academia, and research can effectively enhance the course’s contemporaneity and applicability, promote multi-dimensional talent development, and provide new insights for the reform of materials-related courses.
