The new engineering department represents the latest development direction of industry and business, referring to the new engineering discipline that is being formed or is about to be formed. The talent cultivation of colleges and universities is the most important core task for the new engineering construction to meet the current and future development needs of the industry. It is necessary to cultivate and bring up a group of cross-composite engineering and technology talents with innovative and entrepreneurial abilities and cross-border integration capabilities in high quality. In order to satisfy the training objects of Emerging Engineering Education, a new teaching pattern is needed. As a heuristic teaching method, project-oriented education is to organize students to participate in the whole process of project design, implementation and management, and complete the teaching tasks in the project implementation process. By this way, the students may acquire not only the solid theoretical knowledge but also the experience in the application of this knowledge in the professional field. Therefore, the project-oriented teaching method is the effect and competitive teaching mode for Emerging Engineering Education. For the course of computer simulation of automotive, the project-oriented teaching method is adopted. Corresponding implementation program is proposed and analyzed.
