Abstract: From its early focus on surveying and mapping, geomatics has developed to uidely serve the national economy in all walks of life. At the stage when the engineering education is shifting to the construction of new engineering disciplines, the traditional teaching mode can no longer meet the requirements for training new engineering talents in geomatics. This article designs the training mode of new engineering talents for geomatics, with imparting objective knowledge as the core, reshaping the content and form of activities for teachers, students and knowledge, forming a five-stage experiential teaching mode embedded by teacher designing, student experiencing, and teacher-student interaction. It is applied to the course teaching of geomatics in our university, and the teaching practice is carried out on four types of knowledge contents:conceptual, law, relational and comprehensive application. The practice shows that this teaching mode has the value of popularizing and is helpful for students to understand the knowledge deeply and improve their ability.

Key words: geomatics, teaching reform, teaching mode, experiential teaching, experiential experiment
