Exploration and Practice of Ideological and Political Education in Additive Manufacturing Courses under the Concept of Green Intelligent Manufacturing
Abstract
This paper explores the integration of ideological and political education into additive manufacturing courses within the framework of green smart manufacturing. Green smart manufacturing, which combines environmental sustainability with advanced intelligent technologies, emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of industrial activities and ecological preservation. Additive manufacturing, a key technology in this paradigm, significantly reduces material waste and enhances resource efficiency. However, current educational approaches often prioritize technical skills, neglecting ethical and sustainability dimensions. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating ideological and political education to cultivate a workforce aligned with sustainability and environmental responsibility. The paper outlines a systematic design for integrating these elements into the curriculum, teaching methods, and assessment strategies, ensuring students are equipped with both technical proficiency and ethical consciousness. Practical implementation and outcomes demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach, fostering a generation of engineers committed to sustainable industrial practices. Challenges and recommendations for improvement are also discussed, paving the way for a more sustainable and ethically conscious industrial future.
