The engineering learning mode is a structured learning activity created for learning communities to provide meaningful learning experiences and to cultivate engineering and technology innovation and entrepreneurship talents for the intelligent information era. The knowledge production mode and learning science theory of universities jointly constitute the theoretical basis of the engineering learning mode. Therefore, based on the perspective of the learning ecosystem, a systematic study of the engineering learning mode was conducted, taking Olin College of Engineering and Robotics Union Academy Guangdong-Hong Kong as the objects of study. By comparing the similarities and differences between the engineering education modes in China and the United States, it was found that the logical starting points of the engineering learning mode lies in interdisciplinary integration, industry-university-research integration, and the unification of knowledge and practice. Drawing on the engineering education mode of Olin College, new strategies were proposed to promote the sustainable development of the new engineering learning mode in China to provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for the construction of new engineering disciplines.
