Abstract: The training of postgraduates is an important aspect of the country's training of high-level talents. The teaching of courses plays a particularly important role in the training process. In the teaching process, innovative elements should be continuously injected, and the latest international research trends should be closely followed to further broaden students' horizons. At the same time, it integrates innovation into the postgraduate classroom teaching process and improves the research literacy of postgraduates. Among them, build a postgraduate education curriculum system with the characteristics of the new era, so as to cultivate a group of international scientific research talents with international vision, solid grasp of professional knowledge and skills and innovative consciousness, is an urgent problem for today's educators to solve. This study takes the important basic course Protein Engineering for bioengineering as the starting point and combines the current situation of related courses at home and abroad. In addition, centering on the cultivation of graduate students' innovative consciousness and scientific research ability, a curriculum innovation teaching mode that conforms to the discipline development and the law of education and teaching is explored.
