Abstract:Environmental Ecological Engineering is a new major and its basic teaching and curriculum design have yet to be explored and improved. The course of Environmental Microbiology is compulsory for Environmental Ecological Engineering. How to make the teaching content and format of the course adapt to the overall needs of the major to be discussed. Based on the characteristics and advantages of our university and college, the authors propose to employ Environmental Microbiology course as a carrier to cultivate the innovation ability of undergraduates majoring in environmental and ecological engineering. The course incorporates marine characteristics and ecological points, combining theoretical teaching in class, student lectures, extracurricular study, and experimental skills training. This research can provide a reference for teachers who set up Environmental Microbiology in the same major, and can also give tips for the cultivation of innovation ability of undergraduates majoring in Environmental Ecological Engineering in other universities.
