Unit operations of chemical engineering is a fundamental course of chemical engineering majors.It is the cornerstone for solving production problems in the chemical industry.The teaching innovation is carried out to meet the new requirements of the connotation development of new engineering disciplines for university engineering course.The innovative teaching concept is“grounded in engineering,strengthening foundations,building stepladders,and cultivating competencies”.Challenges in the teaching of chemical engineering courses need to be addressed,including difficulties in acquiring engineering knowledge,developing engineering thinking,and solving engineering problems.A“learning,thinking,and application advanced three-step”teaching mode is designed to systematically integrate learning enhancement,engineering thinking cultivation,and applied competency development.The restructured curriculum establishes three interconnected chains:a knowledge-progression chain for conceptual mastery,a problem-driven chain for analytical skill refinement,and a practice-immersion chain for contextualized engineering application.Innovative teaching practices present an advanced three-step driving three transformations:knowledge acquisition(from what to why),problem-solving(from exams to engineering challenges),and application(from imitation to innovation).Practice has proven that improvement of students’ academic performance and ability to solve complex engineering problems is obvious after teaching reform. The innovative practice of the curriculum has been widely praised by peers.It can provide reference and guidance for the teaching reform of similar professional courses.

The traditional method of “gas-liquid equilibrium phase diagram experiment oftwo-liquid system” in physical chemistry experiment uses Abbe refractometer to determine the sample composition, which has some prominent problems such as long experiment time, large amount of organic reagents and large experimental error, leading to poor experimental results. In this study, we try to introduce the gas chromatograph in the instrument analysis experiment, and improve the experiment scheme. Because the gas chromatograph has the characteristics of less sample amount, high sensitivity and high resolution efficiency, it can shorten the experiment time, reduce the amount of reagents, and reduce the error of the experiment to achieve good experimental results. Practice has proved that gas chromatography not only has the advantages of simple operation and good data results, but also can improve students’ comprehensive experimental ability and cultivate students’ innovation and professional quality. Through the comparison of the two methods, it is found that gas chromatography is a new method that conforms to the improvement and development direction of the experiment, and is suitable for popularization and use in other institutions of higher learning.

Grounded in the framework of flow theory,this study employed a quasi-experimental controlled method to conduct a teaching intervention with 68 chemistry normal students from a university.A mixed-methods approach integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses was adopted to systematically investigate the impact mechanism of immersive virtual environments(IVE)on teacher ethics learning.The findings revealed that the experimental group exhibited significantly higher levels of flow experience in IVE(M=4.614)compared to the control group(M=2.687,p=0.003),with a 9.8-point improvement in post-test teacher ethics knowledge scores(p=0.001).Qualitative analysis further demonstrated the experimental group’s marked advantages in dimensions such as situational immersion in chemistry-specific ethical decision-making(40%)and emotional resonance with professional responsibilities(36%).This study indicates that immersive technology provides a technology-enabled solution for chemistry normal students’ teacher ethics cultivation by establishing a three-dimensional synergy mechanism of“embodied experience-emotional connection-cognitive deepening”,offering empirical support for innovating teacher ethics education modes during the era of intelligent education.

The acid-catalyzed iodination of acetone is a classic complex reaction that is generally used in physical chemistry textbooks as a model reaction to study the kinetic properties of chemical reactions.To help students deepen their understanding of the reaction’s characteristics,this paper employs computational chemistry methods to investigate the molecular mechanism and kinetic properties of the reaction.The results indicate that the presence of acid is essential for the iodination of acetone,as it not only facilitates the isomerization of acetone to enol(the rate-controlling step)but also provides reactive species(H2OI+)for the enol iodination.The computational results offer an intuitive physical image and quantitative insights to aid in understanding the iodination of acetone.The research methods used in this study help students recognize the importance of computational chemistry as a valuable tool for exploring the mechanisms and properties of chemical reactions.
