In recent years,there have been some achievements in the intelligent development and construction of coal mines,but there are still a series of problems,which have put forward industry requirements for talent cultiva-tion of new majors in intelligent mining engineering in universities.The problems in the intelligent development of mining engineering in China and the overall requirements for intelligent mining engineering professionals in univer-sities are summarized in this paper.The industry demand for intelligent mining engineering professionals was formed in ten aspects:knowledge reserve and application,problem analysis and evaluation,scheme design and develop-ment,mastery of research methods,use of modern tools,analysis of social impact of engineering problems,awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development,professional norms,organizational management and collab-orative communication,and lifelong learning.Five major talent development goals were formulated,and their support for industry capability requirements was analyzed.This paper can provide some reference for the cultivation of intel-ligent mining engineering professionals in other universities.
