According to the need of practice teaching reform,the ideas and methods of project driven training mode for road engineering design talent are explored in this paper. The project driven training system is designed with four steps, four stages in accordance with the training courses arrangement plan of road engineering, and the design institute demand to the graduates' practice ability. Then, the key points of some main steps are discussed, such as the professional courses teaching, modularization project training and system upgrade of design ability. Practice has proved that with the project driven training mode the students get the systematic professional of design engineering in school, and the students' adaptation period can be shorten after their graduation.
