Engineering management is currently used as the official major name for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in China. For people in both academia and industry, the similarities and differences of the two levels’ education in professional connotations, training objectives and professional knowledge systems are concerned. On the basis of analyzing the connotation of engineering management, training objectives and knowledge system of engineering management majors in China and abroad, the paper suggests that the official name of undergraduate engineering management should be changed to construction(project) management. It is suggested that the relevant knowledge of construction engineering transaction theory and project governance theory should be appropriately added to the undergraduate program to meet the major’s connotation. This paper also suggests that the training mode and knowledge system for the master of engineering management(MEM) degree program should be adjusted based on the needs of high-level talents in R&D project management and technical management for engineering and technical companies.
