Soulful engineering education is an important embodiment of the exploration and practice of ideological and political education reform in engineering geology courses under the background of "new engineering disciplines". Based on the author's team's years of teaching experience and the nature and characteristics of ideological and political education in engineering geology courses, this paper systematically analyzes four aspects of teaching objectives and educational objectives in engineering geology, excavation of ideological and political elements and teaching design, curriculum outline and content setting, teaching methods and practice. Through the exploration and practice of ideological and political education reform in engineering geology courses, the aim is to cultivate students' awareness of the integration of knowledge and action, and to achieve a new teaching model of joint education that deeply integrates moral and intellectual education in engineering geology. The research methods and content can provide important references for ideological and political education in other courses.
