Abstract

The development of smart civil aviation, the rapid growth of the low-altitude economy, and the new round of scientific and technological revolution have brought new requirements for talent cultivation in civil aviation transportation programs. In response to existing problems in traditional training models, including insufficient industry–education integration, delayed curriculum updating, weak alignment between practical teaching and real operational scenarios, and an incomplete closed-loop quality evaluation mechanism, this study explores the reform of talent cultivation for civil aviation transportation under the framework of Emerging Engineering Education. Guided by an industry-oriented philosophy, the reform aims to cultivate applied talents who understand aviation operations, possess strong practical competence, demonstrate innovation capability, and uphold a strong awareness of safety. Accordingly, a cultivation framework characterized by strategic guidance, industry–education integration, digital and intelligent empowerment, and continuous improvement is constructed. Reform practices are implemented through the reconstruction of training objectives, optimization of the curriculum system, development of virtual simulation and full-mission simulation platforms, promotion of collaborative education by dual-qualified teaching teams, and improvement of competence-based achievement evaluation. This reform framework provides a systematic pathway for aligning program development, curriculum renewal, practical teaching, and competency evaluation, and offers a useful reference for talent cultivation reform in transportation-related programs at civil aviation-oriented universities under Emerging Engineering Education.
