Abstract

The original course content of "Packaging and Culture" was disorganized and redundant, failing to effectively guide students in comprehensively and systematically understanding packaging, and achieve the teaching objectives of the course. The new curriculum design is based on the ten major relationships: packaging and history, packaging and goods, packaging and users/consumers, packaging and branding, packaging and life/health, packaging and environment, packaging and technology, packaging and supply chain/industry chain, packaging and culture/art, packaging and the future. The curriculum system and teaching content have been restructured, incorporating thematic sharing sessions by industry experts, enterprise visits, exhibitions and other methods are enable to students to comprehensively and systematically understand "what packaging is", better grasp the development status and trends, opportunities and challenges faced by the packaging industry, enhance students' sense of identity, confidence and pride in the packaging industry, profession, occupation and enterprise, stimulate students' learning interest, enthusiasm and subjective initiative. Provide guidance for their future professional learning and sustainable career development.
