In the new era, the cultivation of master of engineering needs to adapt to the talent demand of national innovation and development. The key ability of full-time Master of engineering is engineering practice ability. The construction of engineering practice ability training system is an important measure to ensure the education quality of master of engineering. In view of the current situation of Engineering Master's education in general colleges and universities, this paper analyzes the main reasons for the weakness of engineering ability training through literature review, questionnaire survey and case study. Based on the basic laws of engineering ability composition and engineering master's personnel training, it is suggested that engineering education should be strengthened and integrated with the whole process of engineering education, and engineering guidance should be set up by engineering master's students. This paper analyzes the engineering practice education in the aspects of cultivating engineering system thinking, construction of engineering practice base of production, learning and research, and setting of the course system of undergraduate and postgraduate linkage practice, and puts forward the innovative consciousness and engineering ability training approach of engineering postgraduate to face the industry development and engineering post ability demand. The strategy of engineering practice education put forward in this paper can be used as a reference for the education reform and practice of master of engineering.
