The integration of industry and education is one of the important directions of the strategic adjustment of China's economic structure. In 2017, The State Council of China issued Several Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Industry and Education, pointing out that deepening the integration of industry and education is an urgent requirement to promote the structural reform of the supply side of human resources. As an applied major, environmental design is an inevitable trend to promote the integration of production and education. However, in the process of deepening the integration of industry and education, the environmental design major has encountered multiple problems: turbulent cooperative relations between schools and enterprises, limitations and formalization of teaching, backward teacher team construction and lack of policy support. Through literature review and case analysis, this paper explores the causes and challenges of these problems. At the same time, it puts forward some strategies, such as exploring the way of interest coordination, giving play to the key functions of the government, innovating teaching methods, improving teachers' professional ability and improving the educational evaluation mechanism. The aim is to provide references and suggestions for the theoretical development, direction guidance and personnel training of the integration of industry and education in China's environmental design professional education.
