Field practice is a crucial component in the talent cultivation of geophysics and exploration technology and engineering, serving the dual purposes of bridging theory with practice and fostering engineering thinking and geological intuition. Using the Liujiang Basin in Qinhuangdao as a practical platform, this paper explores and implements a structured, progressive teaching approach for gravity and magnetic exploration. The six-week internship is organized into two stages: three weeks of field perception and data acquisition, followed by three weeks of indoor digital processing and model reconstruction. This approach shifts the teaching focus from simple instrument operation training to the analysis of physical fields, 3D inversion interpretation, and geological modeling. By introducing professional software platforms such as Oasis montaj, and UBC-GIF, students have deepened their understanding of gravity and magnetic anomaly characteristics and significantly improved their ability to analyze complex subsurface geological structures using geophysical information. Data from recent internships indicate that students have shown marked improvement in both the initiative for data processing and the completeness of geological interpretation, demonstrating the effectiveness of this progressive approach in practical teaching.
