Abstract :
Software talents should have the engineering ability, a common sense in IT industry, which is characterized by the fact that design plays a very important role in software engineering. Basis on the enhancement of computational thinking, the reform ideas of the development of the student´s engineering ability are introduced. The detailed approaches include: 1) Extraction of fundamental discipline concept of engineering ability development; 2) Problem solving-centered organization of courses of software development tools; 3) Initiate the courses of software engineering as soon as possible; 4) Continual training of abstract logical thinking for the purpose of software abstract thinking.
