Abstract

Against the background of comprehensive advancement of the national “Dual‑Carbon” strategic goal, China’s new‑energy industry is developing rapidly, driving the growth of new‑energy talents and pointing out the direction for teaching reform and talent cultivation of new‑energy majors in universities. Solar Energy Utilization Technology is a core course for new‑energy majors and serves as a key “bridge” linking theoretical teaching and practical teaching. Nevertheless, the teaching of this course is confronted with problems including fragmented knowledge systems, untimely updates of teaching content, and unsatisfactory practical‑teaching effects, which make it difficult to meet the talent demands of the new‑energy industry. Based on the “Dual‑Carbon” goal, this paper analyzes the advantages of modular teaching for the course Solar Energy Utilization Technology, dissects the current teaching status of the course, and explores paths for its modular teaching reform. Elaborations are carried out from four aspects: reconstructing teaching modules, deepening digital‑intelligent teaching reform, improving the modular practical‑teaching system, and optimizing the teaching‑evaluation system, aiming to enhance the quality of course teaching and talent cultivation.
