Management is a basic course for economic and management related majors, but in many engineering universities, management is also a basic and backbone course for cross majors such as engineering management, project management and logistics engineering. The teaching of management has a certain theoretical and practical nature. Therefore, in the teaching process, how to cultivate students’ interest in the course according to relevant majors, mobilize students’ supervisor initiative, and enable students to actively participate in the learning of the course is particularly important for the teaching of management. According to the teaching characteristics of management in engineering universities, this paper creatively designs the teaching content, teaching system, content optimization and practical cases of management, and puts forward relevant countermeasures, so as to provide some reference for the management teaching in relevant engineering universities in China.
