In this study, the concept and the connotation as well as the development history of critical thinking were elaborated first, then the similarities and differences in the critical thinking training systems between China and USA were further analyzed. Moreover, based on the training appeal of engineering knowledge, engineering ability and engineering quality, “physical chemistry” was taken as a course example to expound the teaching modes and strategies of integration between critical thinking training and classroom teaching. It focused on the questions, reasoning and argumentation, situational analysis and practice development based on the theory of “FRISCO”. What’s more, the diversified evaluation indicators for critical thinking training was also established.
