ABSTRACT

This study takes the course "Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering Materials" as a platform to explore ideological and political elements within the "material properties-process technology-engineering applications" knowledge chain. By employing case studies, project-based learning, and other diversified pedagogical approaches, the organic integration of professional knowledge and value-based education is achieved. A three-dimensional "History-Technology-Ethics" integration model is constructed, and a hierarchical curriculum system of ideological-political case studies is developed. Five representative teaching cases are introduced to validate the effectiveness of this approach in cultivating students' engineering ethics, social responsibility, and patriotic sentiment.
