Research on the reform of C language programming teaching based on the training of new engineering talents

With the rapid development of information technology, C language, as a traditional and important programming language, plays an increasingly prominent role in the cultivation of new engineering talents. This paper focuses on the teaching of C language programming, exploring how to combine the concept of new engineering education to enhance students' programming abilities and innovation consciousness through teaching reform. The paper first analyzes the importance of C language in the cultivation of new engineering talents, then proposes reform suggestions from aspects such as curriculum design, teaching methods, and practical activities. The effectiveness of the reform measures is verified through case studies and survey research. The study shows that the teaching reform of C language programming based on the cultivation of new engineering talents can effectively stimulate students' interest in learning, enhance their programming abilities and innovative thinking, thus better adapting to the development needs of the information age.
