New engineering construction and engineering education professional certification have injected new impetus into higher engineering education,and engineering design ability is the core of engineering professional talent training in colleges and universities.Pharmaceutical engineering is a new engineering specialty that combines pharmacy and engineering with the goal of cultivating pharmaceutical engineering technicians.However,there are still obvious deficiencies in the cultivation of pharmaceutical engineering design ability of the specialty at present.Based on the practice of the Pharmaceutical Engineering Design Competition of Guangdong University of Technology,this paper explored the integration of competition and teaching to cultivate students'engineering design ability.Through a series of pharmaceutical engineering design competitions,it could promote students'autonomous learning and strengthen students'ability to comprehensively use knowledge.It could optimize the course teaching and promote the relevant course teaching to be close to the actual project.It could also promote the construction of engineering design teaching staff and professional practice base system,and provide strong teachers and practice base guarantee for talent training.Practice has proved that the integration of competition and teaching is an effective way to cultivate students'pharmaceutical engineering design ability.
