Abstract: Disciplinary cross and integration is a key path for the reform of college physics in the context of new engineering education. This work first elaborates on the unique advantages of the disciplinary cross and integration between college physics and chemistry from the perspectives of internal connections, research paradigms, and applicable majors. On this basis, we also investigate how to reasonably explore and integrate the disciplinary cross elements of chemistry in teaching practice, including the analogy of concepts and principles as well as the reference of thinking methods. In addition, basic theories in physics can deepen the understanding of chemistry, and the cutting-edge technologies in physics can promote the development of chemistry. With these disciplinary cross elements incorporated in a reasonable manner, we can not only deepen the students understanding of the knowledge in physics, but also stimulate their studying interest and promote their transfer and application of knowledge.

Key words:  new engineering education, college physics, chemistry, disciplinary cross and integration
