A higher requirement has been put forward for the development of high education in China under the background of emerging engineering education. Creative engineering plays an important role in the development of basic disciplines, especially for design engineering disciplines. Leading by the development and construction of creative engineering, this paper puts forward new ideas in training principles, training modes and training methods of creative engineering. Meanwhile, taking the training system of architecture design in creative engineering as an example, this paper provides reference in the area of interdisciplinary, education mode and design practice.
