Abstract:In the context of the rapid development of new engineering, the construction industry has put forward new requirements for the cultivation of applied talents in the field of engineering cost. In order to meet the industry’s requirements for the ability of engineering cost talents, the urgent task for the cultivation of engineering cost talents in the context of new engineering is to closely follow the general direction of the data age, integrate the rapidly developing modern information technology into teaching, fully utilize digital information technology, actively explore the integration method between professional training and technological innovation, and cultivate new talents of digital intelligent engineering cost in the new era. Based on this, this study takes the digital intelligent engineering cost applied talent training model under the background of new engineering program at Tianjin University of Technology as an example to analyze the new requirements for engineering cost talents proposed by the engineering cost major at Tianjin University of Technology to respond to the new situation. A preliminary exploration and practice of digital intelligent engineering cost talent training model are carried out from four aspects: training system, training tools, thinking innovation, and school enterprise cooperation. Through a case study of the talent cultivation model for the engineering cost major at Tianjin University of Technology, it is found that the cultivation of engineering cost professionals in universities can start from four aspects: enhancing job competence, optimizing talent cultivation tools, forming complex problem-solving abilities, and strengthening school enterprise cooperation. A digital intelligent talent cultivation system for engineering cost in the context of new engineering can be constructed and continuously improved, which provides experience and reference for the cultivation of engineering cost professionals in other universities. Only by integrating into the wave of digital and intelligent development and updating the digital and intelligent mode can the engineering cost talent training system cultivate engineering cost application-oriented talents that meet the requirements of the new era and create a new style of engineering cost in the new era.
