Abstract: With the ongoing advancement of new engineering disciplines, the traditional objectives for cultivating chemical engineering professionals no longer meet the demands of the contemporary era. This paper conducts a comprehensive investigation into the training objectives for chemical engineering majors at universities in Anhui Province, focusing on aspects such as training standards, types, characteristics, service areas, and employment directions of graduates. The study deeply analyzes the prominent issues faced by local universities in setting these objectives. Based on this analysis, it is recommended that local universities emphasize "connotative" development, reasonably define the specifications and types of talent cultivation, prioritize employment surveys to accurately determine service areas and employment directions, and strengthen the evaluation and continuous improvement of training objectives.

Key words: new engineering, talent training objective, higher education, chemical engineering major
