Abstract: Under impact of internet economy, artificial intelligence and other technologies, setting majors based on production division formed by China's agricultural and forestry universities for a long time has seriously failed to meet requirements of development of agriculture and rural modernization．It is urgent to optimize majors and update courses．The ＂new agricultural science＂ education reform orienting towards new agricultural economy is imperative．Under this situation, Department of Agricultural Equipment Engineering of Henan University of Science and Technology has offered an elective course ＂Agricultural Aircraft Equipment＂ for undergraduate students majoring in ＂Agricultural Mechanization and Automation＂, to cultivate students to master basic theory of agricultural aircraft equipment and technical specifications of modern agricultural plant protection operation, meet practical needs of new agriculture, new countryside and new farmers for agricultural aircraft equipment．In conclusion, it is urgent to promote the course ＂Agricultural Aircraft Equipment＂ to fill the short board of agricultural aviation technology in construction of ＂new agricultural science＂．
