Ideological and Political Teaching Practice in the Principles and Technologies of Heat Exchange Course at an Application-Oriented Undergraduate University

This paper first describes the current status of ideological and political education (IPE) in the course Principles and Technologies of Heat Exchange for the Energy and Power Engineering program at Dongguan University of Technology. It then proposes the pedagogical approach for integrating IPE into the course, followed by a detailed discussion of practical teaching strategies, and concludes with a summary of the teaching outcomes. The practical component includes: the development of a threefold objective framework-knowledge transmission, ability cultivation, and value shaping-based on the "dual-module" concept, and the formulation of an IPE plan that balances depth, breadth, and relevance; the establishment of a "three-mentor" teaching team consisting of professional faculty, industry experts, and enterprise engineers, leveraging university-enterprise internship bases and research centers, and mapping a concentric-circle model for ideological education; and the identification of course-specific ideological elements in alignment with the regional energy industry, forming a "four-dimension" framework that reflects both disciplinary characteristics and local industry features.
