The paper takes Tongji University as an example to discuss how the geological engineering major answers the call from the National Ministry of Education on cultivating high-quality innovative talents, and makes further efforts to reform and improve new training mode which is conducive to the cultivation of students’innovative ability. As the optimization and reform of the original training mechanism, successive bachelor-master-doctor mode can cultivate students with integrated geological expertise. It can also effectively improve the students’innovation ability and overall qualities. This paper expounds the importance and necessity of successive bachelor-master-doctor mode of geological engineering from three aspects. They are national demand, sustainable development of specialist subjects and the international development trend. Constructing a perfect training system of successive bachelor-master-doctor mode of geological engineering will definitely lay a solid foundation of transporting excellent engineering talents with innovation ability for the country and the society.
