Teaching reform and practice of the postgraduate course “Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering” under the “dual-drive and dual-guide” model

Abstract:

Value shaping and innovation capability improvement are two important goals of postgraduate course teaching. Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering is a core course for postgraduates majoring in bioengineering. Our teaching team established a “dual-drive and dual-guide” teaching model, that is, “double drive” (value-driven + innovation-driven) as the traction, this model integrated professional quality with industry needs, engineering ethics, and scientist spirit, combined theoretical teaching with research frontiers, industrial cases, and engineering practice, and incorporated thematic lectures, group peer evaluation, and review papers into course assessment. The teaching under this model achieved the teaching objectives of “double guide” (guiding ideology and ability), and improved the postgraduates’ value identification, innovation awareness, engineering thinking, and ability to solve practical engineering problems.
