Aiming at the problems such as strong professional of TRIZ theory and low relevance many TRIZ case studies to civil engineering, this paper conducted preliminary investigation on integrating TRIZ theory into innovation capacity training of civil engineering. In this paper, the necessity and importance of improving innovation capacity of civil engineering students were investigated, regarding current situation of innovation capacity enhancement and development trends of civil engineering. Some proposals to integrate TRIZ theory and civil engineering were presented, in terms of stylization, specialization and simplification of TRIZ theory.
