• Abstract: With the continuous advancement of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the ethical challenges triggered by scientific and technological innovation have become increasingly prominent. However, science and technology (S&T) ethics education in Chinese universities remains relatively weak and has yet to establish a stable and effective approach. Against this backdrop, integrating S&T ethics education into Ideological and Political Theory Courses (IPTCs) can enhance the contemporary relevance of these courses, enrich their teaching content and cultivate students’ science and technology ethics literacy. Nevertheless, to ensure that such integration goes beyond superficial implementation, it is essential to advance the integration of teaching content by developing modular teaching units, optimizing teaching methods to enhance classroom applicability, strengthening faculty development to bolster interdisciplinary teaching capacity, and improving collaborative mechanisms. A systematic promotion of this integration helps address the practical dilemmas in current S&T ethics education. It lays a foundation for fostering innovative talents who possess both scientific competence and ethical responsibility.
