1 Introduction

It emphasizes that the fundamental task of education is to cultivate moral character and talents, points out the demand for cultivating engineering and technological talents in the context of new engineering disciplines, and highlights the importance of ideological and political education in foreign language teaching. The article reviews relevant research, including the implementation framework of ideological and political education in foreign language courses, the construction of ideological and political connotations in teaching content and methods, and the construction of ideological and political education in college English courses. Special mention was made of the role of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in new engineering education, as well as how to integrate ideological and political elements into the teaching of academic English (STEM) courses, with the aim of exploring effective implementation paths for ideological and political education.

Characteristics of Academic English (Science and Engineering) Courses

This article introduces the characteristics of academic English (STEM) courses, including their demand based teaching methods, curriculum design, teaching models, and educational objectives. The course aims to cultivate students' academic and professional qualities, especially their ability to communicate academically and work professionally in English. The course design is aimed at students majoring in science and engineering, using output oriented and content-based teaching methods, and promoting learning through task driven and evaluative approaches. The educational goal combines the concepts of new engineering and new humanities, incorporating ideological and political elements, with the aim of cultivating engineering and technological talents with innovative thinking and a global perspective. During the teaching process, emphasis is placed on shaping values, imparting knowledge, and cultivating academic abilities. Self written textbooks and practical activities are used as carriers to promote students' comprehensive development.

Implementation Path of Ideological and Political Education in Academic English (Science and Engineering) Course

In the context of new engineering disciplines, a series of implementation paths have been proposed for the ideological and political teaching practice of specialized English courses, taking the "Academic English (Science and Engineering)" course as an example. Firstly, the ideological and political goals have been clarified, and a three-dimensional comprehensive education goal has been designed, including value shaping, knowledge imparting, and ability cultivation. With socialist core values education and excellent traditional Chinese culture education as the core, students' scientific spirit, innovation consciousness, and global vision have been cultivated. The knowledge objectives cover English language knowledge and disciplinary knowledge in the field of science and engineering, while the academic ability objectives focus on the cultivation of academic skills and academic literacy.

4 Conclusion

In the context of new engineering disciplines, this article takes the "Academic English (Science and Engineering)" course as a case study to explore the implementation strategies of ideological and political education in specialized English courses. The article first clarifies the educational objectives of the course, including three levels: value shaping, knowledge transmission, and academic ability. In terms of value shaping, the importance of socialist core values, excellent traditional Chinese culture, scientific spirit, innovative consciousness, and global perspective was emphasized. The knowledge objectives focus on mastering professional vocabulary and subject knowledge in the field of science and engineering, as well as learning academic English vocabulary. The academic ability goal aims to enhance students' academic skills and literacy. In terms of teaching material selection, based on science and engineering popularization content, we explore ideological and political elements to enable students to understand the world's technological progress and China's technological achievements. Diversified teaching activities are designed, including project presentations, original short videos, and manual assignments, to promote students' self-learning, teamwork, and innovation abilities. At the same time, through competition practice and multi classroom collaboration, students' global perspectives are expanded. In terms of evaluation mechanism, it is necessary to strengthen teacher-student joint evaluation and student mutual evaluation, integrate values guidance into activity evaluation, and create a positive teaching environment. The purpose of this study is to provide reference and inspiration for ideological and political education in specialized English courses.
