In response to the new requirements for programming fundamentals courses under the context of New Engineering, this paper delves into the challenges and issues faced by Java programming fundamentals courses in the current era of New Engineering. These include outdated teaching methods, monotonous and obsolete content, disconnection between theory and practice, insufficient practical operation hours, and an imperfect teaching evaluation mechanism. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a dual-targeted approach for constructing a Java development course cluster aimed at both capability and demand, achieving two value goals: cultivating students abilities and meeting job requirements. The cultivation of abilities considers the comprehensive development of students, while meeting job requirements addresses the issue of employment after graduation. The construction of a Java development course cluster oriented towards dual targets follows the principles of reverse design and forward implementation, establishing a "one body, two wings, three collaborations" Java course model. It reforms the teaching methods of the course cluster, establishes a quality monitoring and evaluation system for practical teaching in computer-related majors, and builds a co-cultivation platform. Through these reform measures, the aim is to cultivate engineering talents with excellent skills and innovative capabilities. Teaching practice has shown that this teaching model significantly enhances students learning enthusiasm and ensures the efficient realization of course objectives.
