Advancement of Applied Chemistry Program through Digital Intelligence Technologies

Abstract

Driven by the digital age, the chemical and chemical engineering industry is gradually transforming towards green, refined and intelligent development, thus posing new demands on talents' data literacy, innovative thinking ,and interdisciplinary capabilities. Taking the Applied Chemistry major as an example, this paper explores the paths and methods of promoting educational reform and construction through digital and intelligent technologies. First, in the term of teaching modes, personalized and interactive teaching is realized through intelligent platforms and virtual simulation technologies. Second, in the practical system, a new paradigm of "virtual simulation - simulation calculation - physical verification" is constructed. Third, in the course content, new technological elements such as Python, chemoinformatics and artificial intelligence are integrated. Fourth, in the evaluation system, a multi-dimensional and full-process evaluation mechanism is built based on learning data analysis. Fifth, in the faculty construction, teachers are encouraged to transform into "mentors, designers and analysts". Sixth, in professional management, a data-driven decision-making mechanism is established. In conclusion, digital and intelligent technologies will drive the Applied Chemistry major to shift from cultivating traditional "chemists" to nurturing "composite talents in chemistry and data", providing important support for building a high-quality education system.
