The education of engineering degree postgraduate undertakes the important task of training high-level applied talents for the country. In view of the problems of unclear training objectives, unreasonable training mode, insufficient practical ability and weak innovation ability of civil engineering degree postgraduate in local universities, a talent training model with one goal, two coordinations, three progressions, five guarantees (called as 1235 model for short) is constructed, which is characterized by integration of industry and education, project-driven and open integration. This model focuses on the core talent training goal of improving the practical and innovative ability of graduate students, establishes the dual talent training mechanism of production-education coordination, implements the three-stage progressive talent training mode of theory-practice-innovation, and constructs the quality assurance and improvement mechanism of postgraduate training which integrates tutor, discipline direction, school, university and government with teaching week as the carrier. By years of practice and continuous improvement of the model, good results have been achieved in talent training, and the quality of engineering degree postgraduate talent training has been significantly improved.
