Encountering with the developing goals of the national transportation industry, which needs increasing number of professional civil engineers with good international communication ability. It is a great opportunity to promote bilingual instruction in structural mechanics. In this paper, firstly, the feasibility study of bilingual instruction in structural mechanics is organized. Secondly, the learning transfer disciplines between English competences and professional skills are analyzed. Thirdly, the learning transfer disciplines in structural mechanics are studied. Finally, taking “use superposition method to draw moment diagram” as an example, the bilingual instructional design of structural mechanics is implemented. To promote bilingual instruction in structural mechanics may be a useful attempt to develop the learning efficiency and international communication ability of students.
