Integrating Frontier Advances in Gas Purification Membrane Materials and Technologies into the Principles of Environmental Engineering Course under Emerging Engineering Education
Abstract
competence, and the ability to solve complex problems in response to industrial development and engineering practice needs. Principles of
Environmental Engineering is a core foundational course that bridges basic theories and pollution control practices. However, traditional
teaching still faces several challenges, including abstract theoretical content, outdated engineering cases, and insufficient integration of
cutting-edge research. Guided by the concept of research-to-teaching integration, this study incorporates frontier advances in gas purification
membrane materials and membrane technologies into course instruction. Focusing on the applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs),
MXene materials, and mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) in CO2 capture, biogas upgrading, and industrial waste gas purification, a teaching system integrating "research cases, principle-based analysis, data training, and project-based practice" is constructed. Teaching practice
indicates that this model helps deepen students' understanding of environmental engineering principles, enhance their engineering analysis
abilities, research-oriented thinking, and innovation awareness, and provides a useful reference for curriculum reform and talent cultivation in
environmental engineering under the background of Emerging Engineering Education.
