In response to the problems faced in the cultivation of civil engineering talents, such as low student interest, insufficient professional confidence, lack of career ideals, serious homogenization of talent development, and a shortage of teachers for training talents in the Four Modernizations of the construction industry, Dongguan University of Technology has implemented reforms and innovations in three areas: ideological and political education in professional courses, specialized ability development, and teacher team empowerment. A distinctive talent cultivation model of civil engineering + new quality productivity for local applied universities has constructed. Through the collaboration of the three chains, the integration of the three forces, and the promotion of the three models, it has built a multidimensional ideological and political education system for professional courses, which has significantly enhanced students’ professional confidence and learning interest, while also inspiring their career ideals. By creating an emergency management innovation class, offering modular elective course clusters, establishing a course–school–province–nation competition system, and promoting the integration of science, industry, and education, it has empowered undergraduates with specialized knowledge and skills in intelligent disaster prevention and emergency response, building industrialization/digitalization/greening/sustainable operation and maintenance. By adopting a dual approach of internal training and external recruitment, combining full-time and part-time faculty, it has built a high-level teacher team for cultivating civil engineering + new quality productivity talents.
