In alignment with the philosophy and standards of Engineering Education Accreditation, the training program and course syllabi for Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering have undergone systematic revision. The cultivation of practical competence constitutes a core component in enhancing talent quality within undergraduate education and serves as a critical pathway for strengthening students' ability to solve complex engineering problems. Currently, while integrating Curriculum Ideological-Political Education into theoretical classroom instruction has gained broad consensus among university faculty, the significant proportion of credits allocated to practical teaching within the Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering major presents a pressing issue: how to effectively implement ideological-political education in practical courses. Grounded in the objective of fostering high-quality talent, this study systematically examines the ideological-political elements embedded in practical teaching from the perspective of Engineering Education Accreditation. It strives to achieve a profound integration of professional knowledge transfer with ideological and value guidance, explores a talent cultivation model that highlights distinctive disciplinary characteristics, and ultimately fulfills the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education.
