Strengthening the “dual carbon” higher education to assist in achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has proposed a new challenge for the cultivation of talent in the new era. This article analyzes the current status of the “Functional Polymer Materials” course and considers teaching reform for curriculum content under the concept of “dual carbon”. It proposes to integrate the design and synthesis of temperature-sensitive hydrogels and its application in smart windows into the teaching system. In this reform
we implement the concept of “dual carbon” throughout the experimental principles
objectives
and application research. By transforming cutting-edge research in the field into undergraduate laboratory teaching
it aims to comprehensively enhance students’ scientific literacy
teamwork skill
as well as innovative practical ability. This approach provides sustainable talent support and a foundation for achieving the “dual carbon” goals.
