Facing the need to strengthen the cultivation of international talents in the construction of emerging engineering education, and in view of the problems existing in the cultivation of research-oriented talents of architecture specialty, such as the depth of international exchange, the ability of cross-border integration, the broadening of academic vision, the combination of scientific research and practice, it puts forward the teaching concept of open integration, innovation and research promotion. It discusses the reform ideas and methods of international design workshop under the background of emerging engineering education from three aspects as teaching system, teaching content, teaching mode, including the open and cooperative teaching system called 3 Platforms + 1 mode + 1 mechanism, the modular workshop training content called joint design + project research + urban investigation, and the research-based practical teaching method called research guiding design + design comparative research. Base on these, taking the teaching practice of Sino Japanese international design workshop in the school of Architecture & Fine Art of Dalian University of Technology as an example, it tests the teaching reform from the aspects of curriculum construction, teaching effect feedback, transformation of teaching and scientific research achievements, and popularization value of achievements, so as to provide an effective way to promote the construction of emerging engineering education and international teaching of higher education.
