Abstract
Guided by serving national strategies and local development, the construction of “New Engineering” presents both opportunities and challenges for local universities, and the transformation and upgrading of engineering majors is an inevitable choice to adapt to the new era. Based on the connotation and goals of “New Engineering” construction, this paper reforms and innovates the talent training model and professional curriculum system of engineering construction majors, explores the path for disciplines and majors to serve local construction, and provides a reference for the development of disciplines and majors while advancing “New Engineering” construction.
