Abstract
With the rapid development of the global economy and technology, the chemical industry is facing numerous opportunities as well as various challenges. To promote high-quality development in this sector, enhancing safety and environmental management has become an important task. This study analyzes the existing issues in chemical engineering experimental education and proposes strategies for improvement. The aim is to establish a comprehensive experimental teaching system that cultivates high-quality professionals with both technical skills and a sense of social responsibility, thereby supporting the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
