随着复杂工程结构及巨型结构的大量出现，在土木、水利等工程专业本科生中加强结构分析能力(包括电算能力)的培养显得尤为迫切。笔者将结构力学中的“矩阵位移法”和弹性力学中的“有限元法”有机结合，按照培养创新型高级专门人才的要求建设了结构分析中的有限元法课程，精心编写并出版了该课程所用的教材和电算程序。根据该课程的特点，对课堂教学、上机实习和考试等教学环节进行了改革，充分发挥教师的主导作用和学生的主体作用，取得了良好的教学效果。

With the appearance of complex project structures and large numbers of mega-structure, it is particularly urgent for the civil and hydro-power engineering undergraduates to strengthen the structure analysis capabilities (including computerized ability) training. We organically combined the matrix displacement method of the structural mechanics with the finite element method of the elasticity, built the course of finite element method in structural analysis in accordance with the demand of innovative advanced expertise training, and prepared and published the textbook and computer programs with C language carefully. Some teaching reforms were carried out according to the characteristics of the curriculum from aspects of classroom instruction, hands-on practice, teaching, and examinations so as to develop the leading role of teachers and students, which had achieved a good teaching effect.
