Abstract: Universities with industry characteristics are the bases for training high-quality talents in the industry. Integrating the inspiring principles of the members of CPC into the course of “China modern history” can enrich the teaching content, carry forward the spiritual tradition, and improve the effectiveness of education. At present, there are three notable features in the teaching practice of integrating the inspiring principles into the course. That are the relevance of the problems is not strong, the overall logic is not enough, and the content discrimination is insufficient. Taking aerospace colleges and universities as examples, this paper chose the spirit related to aerospace in the spiritual pedigree of the CPC to carry out thematic teaching design. Taking the cognitive logic of “knowledge—emotion—belief—action” as the horizontal axis and the temporal logic of historical development as the vertical axis, this paper highlight the awareness of big problems, emphasize big historical thinking, and focus on distinguishing the differences of teaching contents. These can effectively solve the problems and challenges of “points”, “lines” and “planes”, and provide new ideas for the overall development of ideological and political course construction in colleges and universities in the new era.
