Modern enterprises are faced with the challenge of complex technical problems in the engineering site conditions, and urgently need a large number of high-level technical personnel. However, some graduates majoring in engineering do not have a strong desire to choose to work in enterprises and take root in the engineering sites. In view of this background, Chongqing University takes the resources and environment majors as an example to explore the value leading education system of engineering graduates that serves the needs of complex engineering talents. Questionnaire surveys are conducted to analyze the reasons why engineering graduates are unwilling to go to work in enterprises. The value leading education system is constructed from ideal belief, knowledge, example guidance, engineering practice and innovation training. An education path that combines local red cultural resources and industry characteristics is put forward. Verified by the practice of the School of Resources and Safety Engineering at Chongqing University, this system has enhanced the degree of alignment between talent cultivation and engineering requirements and achieved good results.
