Abstract: Based on the perspective of new engineering, led by industry, and surround closely three basis points which include endemicity, applied-type and service, comprehensive specialty reforms are deepened, the orientation of engineering ability training connotation of mechanical applied talents are proposed and carried through to the whole process of talent training. By means of re-constructing the talent training programs, establishing the“four plus four”mode of school-government-enterprise cooperative education, building the engineering ability training practice platforms, building the“dual-qualification”specialized teaching staff to guide mechanical specialties to switch their educational ideas to industry-education linkage, to school-enterprise cooperation, to training the applied talents, to improving the quality of employment for graduates. Which we do these focus on training students' engineering practice ability, innovation ability and ability to solve complex mechanical engineering problems.

Key words: Engineering ability, Applied talent, Comprehensive specialty reform, Mechanical specialty, Local university, New engineering
