Abstract In the context of the “Great Ideological and Political Course”, the development and utilization of industrial heritage, such as the establishment history of Yongli Ammonium Plant, offers a fresh perspective on integrating ideological and political education into STEM courses. According to the historical background, the acquisition of the right to undertake, the preparation process, and the establishment of Yongli Ammonium Plant by pioneering figures in the Chinese chemical industry, such as Fan Xudong and Hou Debang, it's evident that the plant played a crucial role in establishing China's basic chemical industry and paved the way for advancements in the fertilizer and synthetic ammonia sectors. This establishment not only laid the foundation for the country's industrial supply chain but also safeguarded national agriculture and defense. The plant vividly embodies the deeply ingrained Chinese cultural values of self-improvement and unwavering nationalistic sentiment. Additionally, it reflects the sense of responsibility for the nation's rise and fall, the brave scientist's spirit, and the unwavering commitment to perfection. Based on these historical materials, significance, and spirit, the construction of ideological and political education in STEM courses aligns with the objectives and requirements of curriculum-based ideological and political education in universities. Furthermore, it can widely inherit and promote the spiritual value of industrial heritage, and help to enhance the affinity and synergy of ideological and political education.
