The construction of "ideological and political education" in leather chemistry and engineering discipline will help to improve students' moral and humanistic qualities, so as to meet the demand of society for talents. Based on the connotation of "ideological and political education", the necessity and challenges of the construction of "ideological and political education" in leather chemistry and engineering discipline are discussed. The implement approaches of "ideological and political education" are proposed from the five aspects of "clarifying specific goals", "refining ideological and political elements", "updating teaching content", "improving teaching model" and "establishing teaching evaluation".
