This paper explores the necessity and pathways for reforming the cultivation of chemical engineering professionals from the perspective of new quality productive forces. Research indicates that under the rapid development of new quality productive forces, traditional talent cultivation models in chemical engineering face numerous challenges. The article analyzes the connotation of new quality productive forces and their impact on the chemical industry, identifies existing issues in current chemical engineering talent cultivation, and proposes reform objectives and specific measures. Through reforms in curriculum system optimization, teaching methodology innovation, industry-academia-research collaboration, faculty team development, and quality assurance mechanisms, high-quality chemical engineering talents adaptable to the demands of new quality productive forces can be cultivated, providing human resource support for the transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development of the chemical industry.
