"Responding to demand and improving quality" is the key to the development of the Master of Engineering Management（MEM） education.Through comparative analysis of the requirements of 1,850 engineering management positions in China and 126 MEM training objectives, it was found that the training objectives of MEM in Chinese universities basically cannot reflect social needs; the phenomenon of homogeneity of talent training is obvious; There is a suspicion of overcorrection in the revision of information skills and action skills; the revision of information skills and action skills is likely to be overcorrected; at the same time, it was also found that the training units paid a serious lack of attention to the professional qualification training of engineering management masters.At the same time, it was also found that the training units paid a serious lack of attention to the professional qualification training of engineering management masters. On this basis, put forward the proposed training target design suggestions including: establishing a long-term mechanism for employers to participate in the design of training programs; guarding against the risk of “marginalization” of engineering skills in the training process; emphasizing the cultivation and improvement of the professional qualifications of engineering management masters; formulating characteristic training objectives based on the academic advantages.
