The world is undergoing unseen changes in a century， which is putting forward new challenges to higher engineering education and new requirements for the training of engineering talents. Facing the future and industry demand， the engineering education will be continuously innovated. In this paper， the status of China's food industry and the talent problems， and the current situation of food talent training at home and abroad were reviewed， which indicated that the university should take the initiative to respond to these changes. Taking the College of Food Science and Engineering in Bohai University and Dalian Nationalities University as an example， a “five-in-one” outstanding new engineering talent training system was established by adhering to the guidance of ideological and political education， reforming the training mode， promoting scientific research regurgitation-feeding the teaching， deepening the integration of industry and education， and intensifying the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship education. The constructed training system has distinctly improved the quality of personnel training， engineering practice ability， and innovation ability of the students， and promoted the high quality development of higher engineering education in local universities. The study had great significance to the innovation of the construction ideas of first-class major， the connotative construction of food major， and the culture of engineering and technical talents with strong engineering practical and innovation abilities， and could adapt to the industrial transformation and upgrading.
