The ability to solve complex engineering problems is an important issue in current engineering education certification and higher engineering education. By expounding the new situation and requirements of current higher education and higher engineering education; combining the concept of engineering education certification; the characters of complex geomatics engineering issue were analyzed; linking with university orientation and characteristics, professional training goals and graduation requirements of geomatics engineering were established, and disassembling the ability that should be trained in practical teaching. Furthermore, a practical teaching course system to support the ability training of complex engineering problems has been established, and constructing a roadmap of practical teaching-ability training. The ability is disassembled into courses for hierarchical and modular training to ensure the achievement of the ability to solve complex engineering problems. The results could provide useful reference for geomatics engineering and relevant major to carry out the revision of professional talent training program and the construction of professional practical course system.
