However, there is not a special review of engineering education journal.</p> <p><strong>Aims and Scope</strong></p> <p>Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this journal focuses on professional development, aim to display cutting-edge and topical issues, to lead disciplinary innovation, and to promote academic communications. The journal publishes critical analysis, summary, and evaluation of previous research to expand new perspectives, to guide paradigm shifts in engineering education, and to improve academic discourse and practice systems.</p> <p><strong>Target Audience</strong></p> <p>Experts and scholars engaged in the field of engineering education, teachers and students of primary and secondary schools, universities, researchers in research institutions, educational policy makers and implementers of various countries, etc.</p> <p><strong>covered disciplines or sub-disciplines</strong><strong>（> 10 Hot topics should be listed）</strong></p> <ul> <li>engineering science education</li> <li>engineering technology education</li> <li>engineering management education</li> <li>engineering culture education</li> <li>global trends and frontiers in engineering education</li> <li>engineering education strategy research</li> <li>reform and practice of engineering education</li> <li>comparative analysis of regional engineering education</li> <li>interdisciplinary engineering education</li> <li>soft science research in engineering education</li> <li>other topics related with engineering education</li> </ul>https://www.hksmp.com/journals/eer/article/view/1133Beyond experience: Reshaping the academic essence of teaching reform in engineering education2025-12-30T09:39:47+08:00Juan Yangyangjuan@cau.edu.cn2026-03-30T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Juan Yanghttps://www.hksmp.com/journals/eer/article/view/1088Exploration and practice of the "Four-Dimensional Forging" education model for ideological and political courses in industry-oriented universities under the background of "Great Ideological and Political Courses"2025-12-08T11:48:49+08:00Chengming Qin970236328@qq.comXuying Lyu14968462@qq.com<p>Aiming at the common challenge of cultivating "non-technical skills" in global engineering education and the practical predicament of "insufficient affinity and weak pertinence" in university ideological and political courses, this study intends to explore how to transform China's unique cultural resource of "Petroleum Spirit" (characterized by hard work, solid work, and the principles of being honest, upright, dedicated, and strict) into effective educational elements. This transformation is committed to enhancing the educational effectiveness of ideological and political courses in industry-oriented universities and provide a path for cultivating outstanding engineering talents. Focusing on the teaching reform of ideological and political courses in Chinese petroleum industry-oriented universities and adhering to the concept of "Great Ideological and Political Courses", this study has constructed a "Four-Dimensional Forging" education model for ideological and political courses. The four dimensions of this model are "high-caliber faculty" as the key, "extensive resources" as the platform, "high-quality ideological and political courses" as the core, and "social practice classroom" as the extension. This model has effectively solved the problems in the teaching of ideological and political courses, with student satisfaction exceeding 90% for five consecutive years. The achievements have won more than 60 national-level awards, and a galaxy of outstanding talents with titles such as "National Excellent Communist Youth League Member" have been cultivated. The proportion of graduates employed at the grassroots level and in western China exceeds 70%, and the model has been promoted and applied in 14 similar universities across the country. The model has successfully integrated value shaping deeply into the engineering education system, and provided a systematic solution featuring cultural empowerment, scenario creation, and industry-education integration for meeting the "non-technical skills" requirement in the engineering education accreditation standards. It is not only a successful practice in the teaching reform of ideological and political courses, but also provides an important paradigm for the innovation of the cultivation model of outstanding engineering talents with Chinese characteristics, thus possessing broad theoretical value and demonstration significance.</p>2026-03-30T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Chengming Qin; Xuying Lyu
