Against the backdrop of the “Double First-Class” construction initiative, experimental teaching in applied chemistry faces prominent challenges including curriculum disconnection from industrial demands, rigid instructional models, underutilized resources, and inadequate evaluation systems. This paper proposes a student-centered reform framework focusing on cultivating innovative capability, practical competence, and digital research literacy. The reform introduces six newly designed courses across four categories—frontier-oriented, innovation-practice, industry-education integrated, and AI (artificial intelligence)-digital specialized—to reconstruct a five-tier progressive experimental teaching system encompassing foundational, comprehensive, innovative, industrial-practice, and intelligent-digital modules. Diversified pedagogical approaches such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and flipped classrooms are fully integrated throughout the curriculum. The study particularly examines AI-empowered innovations including virtual simulation, intelligent tutoring, data-driven analytics, and smart laboratory management, while also addressing implementation challenges related to interdisciplinary faculty development, data security, and cost control. Ultimately, this reform aims to establish an integrated industry-education-digital curriculum matrix that provides robust support for cultivating versatile chemistry talents equipped to meet the demands of emerging industries in the AI era, thereby contributing to the high-quality advancement of “Double First-Class” disciplines.
