The ability to solve complex engineering problems is an important issue in current engineering education certification and higher engineering education. By expounding the new situation and requirements of current higher education and higher engineering education, combining the concept of engineering education certification, the characters of complex geomatics engineering issue were analyzed. With the orientation and characteristics of universities and colleges, professional training goals and graduation requirements of geomatics engineering were established. Constructing a roadmap of practical teaching-ability training, the practical teaching course system to support the ability training of complex engineering problems was established. With the hierarchical and modular training, the training objective to solve complex engineering problems was achieved. The results can provide useful reference for geomatics engineering and relevant major to carry out the revision of professional talent training program and the construction of professional practical course system.
