Abstract

Under the emerging paradigm of new quality productivity, environmental science and engineering education is confronted with significant reform opportunities. The disciplinary restructuring should systematically align with industrial advancement and technological progress through multifaceted approaches: Optimizing curricular architecture by restructuring fundamental courses and enhancing comprehensive experimental modules alongside engineering practice components; Innovating pedagogical methodologies through case-based instruction and project-oriented learning to cultivate holistic competencies; Strengthening faculty development via professional capacity building and interdisciplinary integration, while establishing university-enterprise collaborative platforms; Enhancing practical pedagogy through tripartite university-government-industry cooperation models, implemented through three strategic dimensions - laboratory project-driven learning, jointly constructed practice platforms, and deepened industry-academia-research-application integration through regional collaborations. These initiatives aim to achieve interdisciplinary knowledge integration and foster industry-aligned professionals with innovative capabilities and practical expertise, thereby addressing the talent demands of new productive forces development, promoting environmental industry innovation, and providing intellectual support for achieving carbon peak and neutrality targets.
