Abstract General education has played an increasingly important role in higher education, and to set up new general education courses has also become a research hotspot in the teaching reform of colleges and universities. We have offered a new elective course“The Beauty of Photochemistry in High Technology”in Beijing University of Chemical Technology for all the junior students of all majors. The course is based on the development of modern photochemical technology. It mainly adopts the short video of technology inserted in PPT, on-site experiments and physical display as the main teaching methods. Combined with aesthetic education, it not only broadens students' horizons and improves students' scientific literacy, but also cultivates and develops the interests and curiosity of students, so that students can have a deeper understanding and love of the beauty of technology, and will be inspired to further discover and create a better world in the future.
