近年来，随着高等教育国际化的快速发展，大量的外国学生来华学习中国的土木工程知识，使得各高校对留学生的教学提出了新的挑战。因此为提高对留学生的教学质量，培养更多专业的、国际化的土木工程师，基于对浙江工业大学14级、15级、16级留学生的调查问卷，探讨了《钢结构基本原理及设计》这门课的教学方法。调查发现，在对留学生的教学中，普遍存在留学生力学基础差、教师英语授课能力欠缺、教学方法传统化、实践与理论脱离和考核评价不合理等问题。针对《钢结构基本原理及设计》课程的性质和特点，并考虑到留学生的特殊性，从该课程的教学目标、授课内容和教材、教学方法、课程设计和考核评价体系、等各个方面进行了探讨分析，并提出了相应的建议。旨在提高留学生教学质量，培养更多适应经济社会发展变化的实用型人才，使留学生在未来的工作岗位更具优势。同时，为其他类似的土木工程课程的教学提供参考。

In recent years, with the rapid development of the internationalization of higher education, a large number of foreign students come to China to learn the knowledge of civil engineering, which makes the universities put forward new challenges to the teaching of foreign students. Therefore, in order to improve the teaching quality of overseas students and cultivate more professional and international civil engineers, The teaching method of the course "Basic Principles and Design of Steel Structure" based on the questionnaire of overseas students of grade 14, 15 and 16 of Zhejiang University of Technology has been discussed.. The survey showed that in the teaching of overseas students, there are many problems such as the poor foundation of mechanics, the lack of English ability of teachers, the traditional teaching methods, the poor integration between practice and theory and the unreasonable assessment etc. The teaching effect of the course of “Basic Principles and Design of Steel Structure” in terms of the aspects of teaching goal, teaching content and teaching materials, teaching methodologies, curriculum design and examination evaluation system has been discussed and analyzed. This is based on the nature and characteristics of this course and the consideration of the particularity of foreign student group in China. Further suggestions are came up with in the article to elevate the teaching quality of overseas student group so that it can help to improve the competency of these overseas students and to supply the industry with more practical practitioners who can adapt with the rapid change of the industry. Meanwhile, reference for the delivery of the main course in Civil engineering was also provided.
