Construction equipment and installation engineering quota and budget is an important course of engineering management major in China University of Mining and Technology. The course mainly includes the content of construction equipment installation and engineering cost. The main problems existed in current teaching are dichotomy between theory and practice, simple teaching methods, and poor teaching faculty. As a result, students' understanding of the curriculum content is poor and their examination results and the actual operation ability are not good. In view of the above problems, the teaching reform was carried out including the adjustment of curriculum content, introduction of case study and teaching methods, using a "one chapter, one practice" mode of practice teaching, and focusing on teachers' training. The results show that students' learning interest is improved, their practice and examination results are improved significantly, and their curriculum knowledge mastering and practical abilities are obviously enhanced.
