The course of software project training is an important practical link of software engineering in computer science and technology. Faced with the transformation of local colleges and universities to application-oriented ones, this course carries out the teaching reform in the direction of intelligent engineering innovation and the exploration of deepening the teaching of engineering education. Based on the application and guidance of the course, the teaching practice cultivates students' abilities of independent learning, hands-on operation and team communication through the development of enterprise projects in the software project training, and improves students' abilities of writing, analyzing and solving problems, as well as intelligent innovation and entrepreneurship. Combined with the practical teaching process, this paper explores the new mode of "new engineering" practical teaching in higher education.
