New Engineering is relative to traditional engineering. One of the important objectives of New Engineering construction is to cultivate high-quality engineering talents with both morality and ability, so as to provide intellectual support for China’s industrial development and international competition. We should strengthen the humanistic education of undergraduate engineering talents under the background of New Engineering. At present, there are some problems in humanistic education of Engineering students, such as ideology, curriculum design, teachers’ humanistic accomplishment, classroom teaching methods and traditional cultural accomplishment. Therefore, under the background of New Engineering, we should rebuild educational concept, optimize curriculum, improve teachers’ quality, improve evaluation methods, and strengthen excellent traditional culture education for engineering students.
