As an important institution of higher education, science and engineering colleges and universities have to solve new problems in aesthetic education in the new media era, which is filled with multiple interactions between science, technology, information and media. A large number of media resources and technologies are the advantage of higher education in the new media era. So, we should take into full account the characteristics of aesthetic education, scientifically design the program of aesthetic education, and systematically improve the curriculum of aesthetic education in science and engineering colleges. This study will arouse students’ awareness of the in-depth development of aesthetic education so as to provide theoretical references for aesthetic education in science and engineering colleges.
