Based on the background of the research on the construction of the road and bridge course group of civil engineering specialty in application-type university, this paper dissects the existing problems in the teaching of road and bridge courses, analyzes the principle of curriculum group construction, and then the road and bridge engineering course group construction has been carried out an effective reform of research and practice from the following aspects such as the curriculum group teaching knowledge point optimization and reorganization, teaching content engineering reform, network platform curriculum resources construction, teaching staff engineering ability training, student professional community construction. Practice shows that the construction of road and bridge course group reform is feasible and effective.
