“…The implementation of engineering leading talent training program is an important way to solve the shortage of top-level engineering leading talents. Some wellknown universities in the United States have carried out talent cultivation programs focusing on engineering leadership training [1][2][3][4]. In recent years, many colleges and universities in China have also carried out relevant practices [5][6][7].…”

Abstract-The shortage of engineering leading talents with outstanding engineering innovation and practice ability facing computer top-notch industry has become an obstacle to the development of high-end industry. Aiming at the curriculum learning and enterprise practice need of engineering leading talent, we put forward the curriculum construction and enterprise selection plan for computer specialty engineering leading talent training. Starting from the cultivation goal of computer specialty innovation and engineering leadership, this paper gives the plan of professional courses and engineering leading talent and management courses, and gives a variety of types of high-end industrial enterprises selection strategy combined with the computer professional classification. Finally, it is pointed out that school-enterprise cooperation education system has to be built, and the cooperative education managing mechanism combining individual development and flexibility management also has to be established, which is an important key to promote the rapid growth of the top-notch innovative engineering leading talents.

“…Among the specific training objectives of its colleges, the training of researching or engineering leading talents is also an important goal. On the cultivation of engineering leading talents, the United States places more emphasis on the training of competitive talents under the guidance of technological change [1][2][3][4][5][6] , reflecting the adjustment of personnel training programs in college education under the overall education system [7][8][9] . The United States is the first country in the world to propose a shift from theoretical research in the traditional university to talented personnel in engineering innovation.…”

Abstract. Engineering education is an important part of higher education and an important carrier for cultivating high-quality engineering talents. In order to solve the problem of the lack of qualified personnel in engineering leading and topnotch innovation engineering practice ability, we propose a training model for engineering leading talents and calls for engineering education to implement a training program for talented people who are oriented to the development of the future and provide a talent support for industrial restructuring, economic development and social progress. The ELTP training mode is analyzed from 6 transitional angles, including from school to school, from theoretical knowledge to engineering practice, from school resources to enterprise resources, from simple internship experience to comprehensive training experience, from course study or virtual project to real engineering projects and from leadership potential to leadership. The training process is analyzed and five implementation points are given, including student selection and related coursework, engineering learning training, school-enterprise co-education, project practice, graduation design and employment recommendation. Finally, we draw the conclusion from the target that ELTP can be achieved.
