人才培养目标及培养路径是回答培养什么人和怎样培养人的关键。作为国内最早开办工程造价专业（方向）的“双一流”高校之一，西南交通大学基于自身鲜明的交通特色，遵循“双一流”与“新工科”下的学科和专业一体化建设要求，顺应工程造价专业发展趋势，确立了“卓越应用+科研创新”复合型工程造价专业人才培养目标，同时构建目标实现矩阵，提出了工程全周期造价全过程四级能力进阶、四维实践模式、师资结构复合、政产学研用协同育人、持续改进机制的实现路径，为工程造价专业建设特色化提供了可资借鉴的改革方向与实践经验。

Personnel training objectives of clear and accurate and mature and effective training paths are the key to answer the question of what kind of person and how to train in the construction of cost engineering major. As one of the first "double world-class" universities to set up the cost engineering major (direction), Southwest Jiaotong University, based on its own distinctive traffic characteristics, follows the requirements of discipline and specialty integration construction under the "double first-class" and "new engineering" to upgrade the engineering cost major. In accordance with the development trend of engineering cost major, four bases for determining the training target of engineering cost professional personnel are analyzed, such as service oriented to the demand orientation of high-quality interdisciplinary talents, the external demand power of urbanization process and transportation infrastructure development, the demand of graduate employment distribution and trend development over the years, the intrinsic motivation of the talent cultivation mission of "double world-class" university. The "outstanding application + scientific research innovation " compound talent training target is established. Accordingly, the realization matrix is constructed, and the realization paths of the whole process of engineering whole-cycle cost, such as four levels of capability, four dimensions of practice mode, compound structure of teachers, cooperative education between government- industry- university- research - application, and continuous improvement mechanism are proposed.It provides a reform direction and practical experience for the construction of characteristic engineering cost major.
