ABSTRACT
Regarding the need for talents in the oil industry, efforts should be made to improve the students’ knowledge structure to adapt to the new situation of economic construction and social development in China. Hence, the curriculum should be adjusted according to the new requirements. Rather than covering too many knowledge points, it should be intensive and concise with high starting point and new contents. Specifically, the curriculum should: 1) pay attention to the interconnections between knowledge points and the coherence between courses; 2) reduce duplication with other courses and enhance the integration of courses; 3) raise the starting point and increase the amount of information in classroom teaching. By increasing the intensity, the course is supposed to cover a wide range of knowledge within limited course hours and to achieve a balance between quality and efficiency.
