Based on the development and change of the civil engineering industry under the background of emerging engineering education, combining the directions of educating undergraduate talents and the characteristics of college students who were born after 2000, this paper puts forward the fact that the application-oriented undergraduate students majoring in civil engineering should focus on cultivating their abilities of applying engineering science, project management coordination, and the engineering technology innovation to ensure the normal graduate in civil engineering of intelligent construction to engineering application and management work. Based on the multi-disciplinary development, new ways of thinking and innovation can be initiated. Taking the curriculum reform of basic principles of concrete structure as an example, considering the technology updates of civil engineering industry, we employed the modern teaching and learning approaches to discuss curriculum reform. In terms of teaching content, precast prefabricated concrete structure and BIM technologies in civil engineering industry are actively combined with traditional knowledge to form a new framework of "basic principles of concrete structure" courses. From the view of pedagogy, we should fully explore and use the Internet+ learning platform and various teaching methods to better stimulate the willingness to learn of the students born after 2000, so as to improve the effectiveness of teaching.
