With the rapid progress of educational connectivity between China and “Belt and Road” countries

more and more international students are coming to China for higher education. Focusing on the teaching reform of the “Manufacture Engineering of Polymers” course for the international students of Beijing University of Chemical Technology

this study fully considers the academic backgrounds and cognitive characteristics of international students. It builds an adaptive all-English teaching environment

accumulates high-quality teaching resources

introduces innovative teaching methods

and adopts diversified evaluation standards. These measures aim to enhance the learning achievements of international students and cultivate highly qualified talents with solid fundamental knowledge

professional engineering mindset

and a global perspective. By employing approaches including using daily life scenarios or polymer history as a lead-in

performing “micro-experiments” in class

distilling knowledge points from polymer production videos

carrying out topic discussions and inquiry learning

and advancing the integration of science

industry

and education

this study generates an immersive learning experience. This approach promotes the learning interest and initiative of international students and improves their performance in analyzing and solving practical engineering problems. In addition

it aims to cultivate the students’ international vision and sentiment towards China

promote exchange and mutual trust between other nations and China

and turn international students into a bridge for international communication in the future.
