工程地质是水利类本科生的一门重要专业基础课，课程教学内容和环节丰富，难点较多，实践性强。如何在课堂教学和野外实践教学中有效提高教学质量是一个值得探讨的问题。文章详细分析了水利工程课程中的难点及教学中存在的问题，从课堂教学、实践教学、英文教学及课程考核等方面全面介绍了课程教学经验及改革探索。提出课堂教学应注重理论紧密联系工程实际，实践教学应注重培养学生动手技能和发现、分析、解决工程地质问题的能力，开展英文教学是培养国际人才的必然趋势，考核机制应全面反映学生的综合能力等观点。

Engineering geology, with rich teaching content and strong practicality, is one of the fundamental courses for students majoring in water conservancy. It is worthy to be deeply discussed on how to effectively improve the quality of teaching in the classroom and the field geological practice. Difficulties of the course and practical problems in teaching were analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, teaching experience and reform exploration were comprehensively introduced from the point view of classroom teaching, practical teaching, bilingual teaching and course assessment, respectively. It is proposed that in classroom teaching, theory should be closely tied to the engineering practice. In practical teaching, the ability of students on how to discover, analyze and solve engineering geological problems should be emphasized. Carrying out bilingual teaching is an inevitable trend to train international talent and students' comprehensive ability should be fully disclosed in assessment system.
