Teaching system reform and practice of Industrial Microbiology in pharmaceutical engineering

Industrial Microbiology is a fundamental course in pharmaceutical engineering. This paper aims at the problems existing in the teaching practice of Industrial Microbiology for pharmaceutical engineering in our school. It discusses the formation of a teaching team primarily consisting of doctors/associate professors with biochemical and pharmaceutical background, supplemented by middle and senior pharmaceutical engineers. Individual students have a certain influence on the effectiveness of teaching reform. Problem-based learning (PBL) teaching significantly improves the teaching effect, and the average scores of males and females are increased by 3.66 points and 4.13 points, respectively, with an increase rate of 5.64% and 5.94%. Gender also has a significant impact on the effectiveness of PBL teaching, with females being more proactive and effective than males. The aim of this study is to establish a scientific and reasonable teaching system to provide reference for improving the teaching effect of Industrial Microbiology.
