Based on the school’s talent training concept and professional master training objectives, the training mode of professional master degree graduates (referred to as "professional master") should be based on the professional level of the school and serve the needs of local economic development. Taking the training mode of professional master of civil engineering in Taiyuan University of Technology as the research object, under the background of the annual increase of national professional master enrollment plan and the continuous improvement of training quality, this paper analyzes and summarizes the current situation of enrollment and training of professional master—the stubborn problem of "emphasizing academic degree and neglecting professional degree", the unstable problem of "more first choice, less regulation", the inertial concept of "deep theory, shallow practice" and the diversion situation of "campus tight, enterprise loose". In combination with the overall development level and training target orientation of the civil engineering major in local area, some feasible measures and suggestions are put forward in terms of school/college professional master enrollment/transference policy, thesis topic selection and the whole process of ideological and political education, selection and management of campus tutors, selection and assessment of enterprise tutors, etc. The author analyzes the case study of the three-year training mode of professional master. Years of practice has shown that the training effect is good, and it can provide references for similar engineering professional master training mode.
