Abstract: In order to adapt to the new round of industrial revolution, China’s engineering education needs to actively explore the reform direction of talent training models, and accelerate the development and construction of new engineering disciplines. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has established an electric vehicle innovation and entrepreneurship compound experimental class through the “Special Training Program for Top Innovative Talents”, and is implementing project-based personalized teaching, innovation ability training, practical ability training, teamwork ability training, leadership and executive ability training, and other reform measures for the cultivation of new engineering talents. After three years of practice, the training effect of students shows that the experimental class can effectively improve students’ independent innovation ability and can cultivate high-level compound talents with excellent engineering ability.
