Promoting the integration of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education (“Five Educations”) in professional courses is the goal and mission of talent training in colleges and universities in the new era endowed by China’s education modernization. As a professional basic course for civil engineering majors in ordinary colleges and universities, Engineering Geology still has the problem of paying attention to the teaching of professional knowledge and ignoring the excavation and infiltration of “physical, aesthetic and labor education” in the course in terms of professional ability training orientation. Taking the engineering geology course with intensive interdisciplinary knowledge points, strong engineering application and field practice as the reform object, this paper excavates the “Five Educations” elements and values of engineering geology, deeply explores the implementation path and landing mechanism of “Five Educations Integration” in engineering geology, and constructs a “value-knowledge-ability-quality” four-in-one teaching mode by reconstructing the four-stage progressive teaching chain of “classroom intensive explanation-problem discussion-industry collaboration-field training,” to promote curriculum construction and comprehensively improve the quality of talent training, and provide a universal reference for the reform of engineering foundational courses under the background of Emerging Engineering Education (3E).
