To keep pace with the times and the development of the industry, colleges and universities had added the engineering information management course to their curriculum. Traditional teaching methods are no longer adaptable to this new course. We explored a new and feasible teaching mode of engineering information management course based on the QQ platform which is familiar and readily accepted by students. It was a combination of theoretical teaching and practice teaching. Through the guide in theoretical teaching, students can carry out practice activities independently according to certain processes. Therefore, the theory learned will master in practice. The new teaching mode can make up for deficiencies of the traditional teaching mode and can also mobilize the initiative of students. It had achieved good results in teaching practice.
