Outward-bound Training is a new educational model. In the ordinary course of events, trainee will be brought to the nature, the team and individual will be through a series of test by challenging courses,the typical scenes and activities designed specially. Thus, discipline perseverance of overcoming the difficulties,the Mental quality of health and active attitude towards life. At the same time, Outward-bound Training can enhance the cooperation consciousness of team.According to training places, the specialized courses can be divided into five types which are going to be conducted in different place including mounain,water,field,the indoor and so on.Outward-bound Training contains lots of education concepts that integrate with eath other. However, there are several theorys that are more important. For example, humanism,constructivism and experiential studying theory which is the core of outward-bound training. At present, there are mainly three important aspects on outward-bound training studies that are about introducing it into colleges and universities,situation of study and the influence on undergraduate.The current academic results told us that the research about theoretical in higher education and practical usage has been ripe, whereas the study on the influence on undergraduate is still on exploration stage. According to the present research and situation, this study have taken the freshmen from anhui engineering university as samples to research the effect of outward-bound training on cultivating academician soft power.This study wielded documentary data method,questionnaire method,experimental method,method of mathematical statistics and so on. Here, one hundred sixty students who have taken the outward-bound training course or not were taken as the subjects and research the effect of outward-bound training on cultivating academician soft power.The result mainly embodied five important conclusions:First, experimental study has proved that the function is extraordinary and remarkable to bring up soft power of college student by outward-bound training. The students who have gone in for training course extend the confidence,power of teamwork,adaptation,innovation ability,interpersonal communication skills and sense of responsibility remarkably.Second, outward-bound training has different impacts on training of soft power for sexual distinction. The result showed that the boys have higher enhancement in the sense of responsibility,power of teamwork and interpersonal communication skills when woman student have heightened more in adaptation,innovation ability and confidence.Third, the effect is also dissimilitude for different branch of learning. The students studying arts had more sense of responsibility,power of teamwork and innovation ability than the sciences and science students have improved adaptation,interpersonal communication skills and confidence more notablely than arts.Training course contains long and short term courses. The effect of short term courses was better than long term courses because outward-bound training still has boundedness in colleges and universities. In addition, trainees who come from colleges and universities have their own distinguishing feature and discrepancy.However, the questionnaire survey showed that the soft power of college students manifested a decline trend at the end of term. Therefore, we can reach a conclusion that the soft power of university student exists oblivion.
