To improve the ability of personnel training is an important content of new engineering construction, and engineering construction field needs more engineering personnel engaged in project decision-making and whole-process cost management. The development trend of cost informatization and big data sharing, as well as new technologies and new methods in the field of engineering cost make the training of engineering cost professionals face huge challenges. The knowledge structure and ability standard of traditional engineering cost professionals can not make dynamic adjustment in time according to the market demand. Therefore, constructing the ability standard of engineering cost professionals is an important guarantee to improve the training quality of engineering cost professionals and meet the needs of industry development. Engineering cost major in Tianjin University of Technology is actively responding to the requirements of the new engineering education reform, and giving full play to the bridge rule of domestic cost association between university and industry market, according to domestic cost engineer practice range and the required professional skills, to establish an escalating ability structure about "ability of measurement and valuation–ability of bidding and contract management–capability on project feasibility study and investment". Learning from the outcomes-based education, the concept of "output oriented", "student centered" and "continuous improvement" runs through the whole process of talent training, guided by the industry market demand and students’ future job competency expectations. Reconstructing the relationship between "school-society, professional-industry, teacher-student" to promote the transformation of new engineering construction from theory to practice. In terms of teaching, it implements the principle of "indomitable", that is, the combination of curriculum theory teaching and workshop practice teaching to form a new teaching model that deeply integrates knowledge structure and ability training, so as to ensure the systematization and coherence of talent training. Finally, Assessment of professional competence is set to comprehensively evaluate students’ professional ability.
