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 novel talent training model with “one goal, two coordination, three progressives, five guarantees” (called as “1235” model for short) was 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 the tutor, discipline direction, school, university and government with "Teaching Week" as the carrier. Through the implementation of the "1235" talent training model, guided by social needs, the training program for professional degree postgraduates has been comprehensively optimized by increasing practice and innovation training. Through the integration of practice resources inside and outside the university, the practical innovation ability of professional degree postgraduates has been comprehensively improved. Through the mutual recruitment of schools and enterprises, we have built a teacher team with both engineering and teaching experiences. Through open course and project-based teaching, it has improved the effect of classroom teaching and talent training for postgraduate students. By years of practice and continuous improvement of the “1235” talent training model, good results have been achieved in talent training, and the quality of engineering degree postgraduate talent training has been significantly improved, and the ability of practice and innovation has been significantly enhanced.
