The scientific construction of a non-technical skills training system for engineering students can not only effectively improve the quality of engineering education talents, but also relate to the future development level and direction of engineering in China. Based on the perspective of engineering philosophy, taking civil engineering as an example, this paper deeply analyzed the problems existing in the cultivation of non-technical ability of undergraduate students in colleges and universities, and then constructs the cultivation system of non-technical ability of civil engineering professionals from the four dimensions of cultivation objectives, curriculum system, teaching mode and teaching resource guarantee. The practice content and experience of the non-technical ability system of civil engineering professionals in Chongqing University is systematically introduced, to provide direction and guidance for promoting the deepening reform of engineering education.
