According to the engineering education professional accreditation standards and the cultivation requirements for specialty talents of surveying and mapping engineering major in the era of information surveying and mapping, combining with the professional training objectives, the paper elaborates the cultivation model reform attempts and practice effects of engineering of surveying and mapping major from the aspects of major courses teaching content to keep pace with the times, strengthening the cultivation of students' professional skills under the new technology of surveying and mapping, diversifying practice base construction, undergraduate tutorial system and scientific research to promote the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability. The study not only lays foundation for the survey and mapping engineering major of Hebei University of Engineering to achieve the engineering education professional accreditation standards, but also provides an idea and reference for talents cultivation of other engineering majors.
