In the context of the transformation and upgrading of the civil engineering industry, cultivating the core competencies of engineering management professionals in intelligent construction has become a critical pathway to achieving high-quality industrial development. By analyzing survey data on the rationality of traditional engineering management curriculum systems, this study identifies the essential capabilities required of engineering management talent from the perspective of intelligent construction. Grounded in the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy, with a student-centered approach and a focus on targeted competency development, a three-dimensional framework is proposed: a logical dimension that establishes a vertically integrated alignment between BIM proficiency levels and the curriculum; a temporal dimension that embeds this integration throughout the entire process; and an organizational dimension that ensures institutional support and implementation. Together, these dimensions form a cohesive, tripartite system for cultivating new-engineering-oriented engineering management talent. Findings indicate that the primary limitation of conventional curricula lies in their insufficient emphasis on core professional knowledge and technical skills. An industry-university-research-application integrated training model, centered on BIM competency development, enables students not only to attain mid-level BIM proficiency for domain-specific applications but also to achieve advanced-level competence through end-to-end, holistic BIM implementation. This comprehensive approach has significantly enhanced graduates’ job readiness and innovative capacity.
