Emerging engineering education is a major strategic decision of China's engineering education facing with new technology and new development. As a traditional engineering major, civil engineering needs to adjust the future development direction of the industry. Taking the training of full-time postgraduates of civil engineering as an example, this paper expounds the necessities of emerging engineering construction in civil engineering, analyzes and summarizes problems existing in the current postgraduate ability training process. On this basis, it proposes the training targets and measures of postgraduates' cross innovation ability, including practical innovation ability, scientific research innovation ability and interdisciplinary ability. And tutor team building is taking as subsidiary issue, to promote the cultivation of postgraduates' ability and to improve the overall quality of full-time graduate students.
