Problems in the engineering management specialty construction were presented and characteristics of engineering management majors were analyzed. Suggestions to improve the characteristic construction of engineering management specialty were proposed by setting professional training target and curriculum system, strengthening practice teaching, deepening cooperation between colleges and corporations, focusing on ordering form personnel training, developing students' comprehensive quality, and combining the engineering management professional education with professional association approval systems and EMCI standards. Different universities and colleges should build their own style and way of running a school.
