当前的土力学课程教学中，求解手段落后导致学生解决实际工程问题能力不足。以液塑限试验数据处理、前期固结压力求取、地基附加应力计算和滑坡稳定性计算等为例，将MATLAB程序引入土力学教学。实践表明，MATLAB程序的应用可解决传统教学方式存在的诸多问题，大幅提高教学效率，培养学生的动手能力和创新能力。

In the current teaching of soil mechanics, the backward of solving methods leads to the lack of students' ability to solve practical problems. Taking the data processing of liquid plastic limit test, the calculation of the pre-consolidation pressure, the calculation of the additional stress of foundation and the calculation of landslide stability as examples, this paper showed that the introducing of MATLAB programs in the teaching of soil mechanics could solve many problems caused by traditional teaching methods and improve the teaching efficiency greatly, and also could cultivate the students' practical ability and innovative ability.
