Abstract The impact of education on people is profound, especially higher education. Academic disciplinary construction plays an important role in the success. Constructing a discipline is like building a Chinese honorific arch. Structure is the key of quality that assures its long-lasting charm. What are the cornerstones, the pillars and the beams of the discipline/major of Polymer Materials and Engineering? In this article, we present an honorific arch theory for disciplinary construction and share experience of best practices in the curriculum innovation of Zhejiang University and Fudan University, in hope that it could provide helpful references for sister universities in the highly desired curriculum innovations.
