Based on the new model of talent cultivation in new engineering education, learning from MIT's new engineering talent thinking, the existing teaching content of technology foundation of mechanical manufacturing needs to be updated. Teaching methods are mainly subject to “teaching”. Engineering training in the teaching process, systematic practice teaching and practical assessment of course evaluation are lacked. So new ideas and cultivation objectives of technology foundation of mechanical manufacturing are put forward, a curriculum system integrating the theoretical teaching, experimental teaching and practical teaching is builded, and a student-centered approach to teaching method and curriculum assessment is constructed. Effective ways of curriculum construction are explored actively under the background of new engineering, quality of education and teaching is improved continuously, high-quality innovative talents are cultivated.
