Abstract Project-based learning as a new model that organizes learning around projects has been developed to cultivate the participative postgraduates' ability in the course of chemical engineering design and process optimization. It focuses on using the project teaching method to design teaching content and update teaching methods as compared to the traditional courses, which can help the postgraduates to solve the practical problems with theoretical knowledge. The project-based method has been implemented through the practical projects of chemical enterprises, based on the principle line of "discovering problems-analyzing problems-solving problems-summarizing experience". It was benefcial to form the new curriculum teaching model suited for the postgraduates in the universities, and further improve the postgraduate's design ability, practical ability and innovative ability.
