Abstract

From the reality that talent training at our current cost engineering curriculum system does not match engineering industry needs, by using grounded theory method, we explore four factors associated with cost engineering curriculum system setting-platform courses, career stage, course system, colleges-enterprises unities, and got three kinds of logical relationships between them interrelated: Technology-Economy-Law-Management Course has different roles at different career stages; we can improve curriculum system settings to make platform courses match with career stages; two-pronged approach-improving curriculum and colleges- enterprises unities-is an effective way to achieve these goals. Finally, the paper proposed suggestions for improvement curriculum corresponding with our findings. We think that colleges should attach importance to the technology platform courses, practice-oriented teaching and colleges-enterprises unities in order to meet industry demand for cost engineering personnel.
