Abstract

The proposal of the “Double Carbon” strategy has put forward new requirements for the cultivation of high-level chemical engineering talents. As a key discipline unit for “Double First-Class” construction in Fujian Province, the College of Chemical Engineering of Huaqiao University is based on the national goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, focusing on green transformation and engineering innovation, and has carried out systematic reforms in the construction of postgraduate curriculum systems. This paper analyzes the problems existing in current postgraduate education, such as lagging content update, insufficient interdisciplinary integration, and weak practice platforms, and proposes to construct a “Double Carbon-oriented” multi-dimensional curriculum system with a four-level structure of “foundation-expansion-interdisciplinarity-practice.” Through reform measures such as modular curriculum design, project-driven teaching, “1+1” double supervisor mechanism, university-enterprise collaborative education platform, and international joint training mechanism, the concept of “Double Carbon” is promoted throughout the whole process of talent cultivation. Studies have shown that this model has effectively improved postgraduates’ academic ability, practical literacy, and green innovation awareness, initially forming a high-level engineering talent training system with the “characteristics of Huaqiao University”, and provided a useful reference for the reform of postgraduate education in Chinese universities under the “Double Carbon” background.
