The construction of new engineering is a reform of engineering education with Chinese characteristics. It is also a com- plex project that our higher education actively adapts to the new changes of the world economy. Under the background of the new engi- neering construction,the concept of engineering education from passive adaptive service to lead the development direction,talent train- ing from the division of discipline to the process of multidisciplinary fusion,and teaching process by focusing on knowledge teaching to teach engineering ability will become new challenges to college students’employment. The basic path for college students to improve their employ ability under the new engineering background is achieving the unity of personal value and social value based on the higher - quality employment in the future engineering field,deepening the knowledge on the intention of new engineering continually and to determine the direction of employment and tendency prematurely in the filed of new engineering,focusing on nurturing core competence and accomplishment,actively participate in internal and external engineering practice and training school.
