- Abstract: Protein Engineering and Enzyme Engineering is a professional core course for life science-related majors in higher education, aiming to help students apply theoretical knowledge to engineering practice. The rapid development of biomanufacturing has placed new demands on the training of protein and enzyme engineers. However, due to the complexity and strong interdisciplinary nature of the course contents, traditional offline teaching modes have poor teaching performance and are unable to meet the era's demand for high-tech innovative talents in the field of biomanufacturing. To solve the above problems, we carried out the exploration and practice of blended teaching in Protein Engineering and Enzyme Engineering. We designed the teaching philosophy characterized by collaboration of online and offline learning, integration of pre-class preparation, in-class learning, and post-class review, linkage of online platforms, learning resources, teachers, and students, and enhancement via scientific research, scientific contests, course experiments, production practice, and lesson learning. We developed a three-phase (pre-class, in-class, and post-class) teaching program and established a two-level (online-offline) teaching evaluation mechanism. This teaching mode upholds the student-oriented concept, strengthens the deep integration of theory and practice, and focuses on cultivating students' innovative thinking and practical ability. The practical results show that this teaching mode can improve the teaching quality of Protein Engineering and Enzyme Engineering, enhance students' scientific and technological innovation ability, and meet the national demand for biomanufacturing talents.
