Abstract

As the societal demand for innovative talents continues to soar, the cultivation of these individuals has become a crucial mandate for undergraduate institutions in China. This study addresses the lack of systematic, in-depth, and targeted approaches to nurture innovative talents in the Materials specialty at local undergraduate institutions in China. Focusing on undergraduate students studying Materials at the authors’ esteemed institution, a “three-stage progressive” training reform and practice were implemented to foster innovative talents in this discipline. The outcomes of this endeavor demonstrate a noticeable enhancement in students’ innovative prowess and creative capacities compared to the previous methods, while educators have exhibited significant advancements in their abilities to impart knowledge on innovation and entrepreneurship. This study serves as a paradigmatic framework and a point of reference for cultivating innovative talents in the realm of materials at local Chinese universities.
