Under the background of the emerging engineering education, the civil engineering faces the problem of reform and upgrading from traditional engineering to the new civil engineering. Based on the development trend of civil engineering industry at home and abroad, this article discusses how the traditional civil engineering will transform and upgrade to the new civil engineering, and applies the OBE education concept to the upgrading of civil engineering in the new civil engineering, and to reform and improve the research and practice of civil engineering talent training programs facing emerging engineering education. The research content includes the establishment of the "school of intelligent architecture" by schools and enterprises; the establishment of personnel training goals and graduation requirements for emerging engineering education; the internet plus, cloud computing, big data, intelligentization, virtual reality and other information technologies and intelligent technologies, especially a multidisciplinary curriculum system by use of BIM technology was set up, a multi-discipline integrated smart building simulation experiment center was established and a "3+1" school-enterprise cooperation education platform was built to achieve the connotative development of the new civil engineering under the emerging engineering education background, it is of great significance for cultivating new talents of intelligent architecture that facing the future.
