In the current cultivating plans for undergraduates in China, the undergraduates get most of the credits in the class. As a teacher for a professional course, it is important to consider how to make quality education permeate into daily school teaching process. On the one hand, the research direction of the teacher had better be closely linked with the teaching contents of the course. On the other hand, the teachers lay emphasis on the connection of theory contents with the practice, scientific frontiers and interdisciplinary contents, combining the teaching (instructing) and enlightening of the scientific thinking. During the teaching process, we create many situations for questions, find new ways to arouse the passion and interest of the students and continuously open up the students' innovation thinking. Then, we will encourage the students to find the answers or prove something by joining the innovation activities of science and technology. We give some practical examples and ask the students to use the surface chemistry knowledge to make explanation to improve the enthusiasm to the research. In respect to the scientific enthusiasm and innovative thinking, we coordinate and supply the relevant references and guide them to apply for the innovation activity of science and technology specially designed for the undergraduates by University. Up to now, we have continuously instructed more than 20 undergraduates to join such research projects. After their hard work, they have obtained the second grade reward fro two times and the third grade rewards for 3 times. From the feedback of the graduated students, the graduating designs or dissertations of these students usually have a better quality and some of these students published some scientific paper in the journal during the graduation term.
