Abstract: Ideological and political education in courses has become one of the key approaches to fostering virtue and nurturing talents in higher education. As a core course in the discipline of metallurgical engineering, the study of metal materials requires enhanced ideological and political education. By strengthening the team for ideological and political education, designing teaching plans with ideological and political objectives, enriching teaching methods based on ideological and political education, and establishing an evaluation system that incorporates ideological and political assessments, the effectiveness of ideological and political education has been improved, and the teaching quality of the course has been enhanced.
