Under the new situation, the cultivation of technically complex talents with a wide caliber and multidisciplinary interdisciplinary talents with a heavy foundation in urban and rural planning is inevitable, and the study and practice of urban and rural planning majors have entered a brand new field of development. The ability to innovate and the ability to control the process are two abilities that are focused on in the brand new development process of urban and rural planning majors. A dynamic survey of current undergraduates and graduates within five years was conducted through an online questionnaire, which gathered that there were many problems in the design class, such as students’ loosening before and tightening process control, stuck thinking at key points, and disconnection with hot issues in society. Course practice takes the urban and architectural design course link in the basic stage of urban and rural planning major design of Zhengzhou University as an example. Micro-modules are flexibly implanted in the design course, and the key nodes of the course are corrected and improved. The scheme exchange link is added in the creative stage of design conception in the early stage of the course to break through the bottleneck of design conception; the deepening process of the middle and late stages of the course increases special research and technical simulation support, and increases the depth of design content and the breadth of thinking problems; after-class self-evaluation links are added after class, summarizes the gains and losses, and find countermeasures. The effect of key nodes in the course process is polished and improved to enhance students’ communication and expression ability, process control ability and design innovation ability.
