As a revolution of education quality based on engineering education, new engineering has achieved substantial progress in theoretical research and practice in universities, but there are still some problems, such as the difference of education mode is not obvious, the advantages are not concentrated and not prominent, the cross integration is not deep enough, the extension and expansion of disciplines need to be improved, the transformation and upgrading are conventional, and there is a lack of cross cutting and breakthrough measures. Based on the development trend of science and technology at home and abroad and the practice of engineering education, it is necessary to improve the system from the following aspects: to emphasize the characteristics, to make clear the outcome-based training target mechanism; to improve the compatibility, to build a comprehensive system standard and system scheme; to break through the keys from assessment and evaluation, so as to make the new engineering construction match the needs of national transformation and economic and social development.
