为更好地服务海洋强国建设，支撑“一带一路”倡议，构建现代化强国基础设施，清华大学、中山大学等高校新设了土木、水利与海洋工程本科专业。基础工程作为传统土木工程专业的核心基础课程，已经广泛应用于海洋、水利、交通、能源、环保等领域。为了让基础工程课程内容更好地满足社会和行业的需求，结合中山大学基础工程课程的实际情况，吸纳国内外高校的先进教学理念，进行基础工程教学改革研究探索。教学内容方面，丰富和拓展教学内容的同时对核心内容进行必要的精简；教学方式方面，重视工程实践教学和虚拟仿真教学的有机结合；考核方式方面，在改进传统笔试考试的基础上，通过课程设计全面锻炼和考察学生运用知识解决实际问题的能力。旨在为土木、水利、海洋工程培养创新型和复合型的优秀人才。

In order to serve the construction of a powerful marine country, to support the "Belt and Road" initiative, and to build the infrastructure of a modern and powerful country, Tsinghua University, Sun Yat-sen University and other colleges and universities have recently established the undergraduate majors in civil, hydraulic and marine engineering. Foundation engineering is the core basic course of traditional civil engineering, which has been widely used in marine, water conservancy, transportation, energy, environmental protection and other fields. In order to make the content of foundation engineering course better meet the needs of the development of society and industry, combined with the actual situation of foundation engineering courses of Sun Yat-sen University, the advanced teaching concepts of domestic and foreign universities are absorbed, and the research and exploration of foundation engineering teaching reform is carried out. In terms of teaching content, enrich and expand the teaching content while simplifying the core content; in terms of teaching methods, attach importance to the organic combination of engineering practice teaching and virtual simulation teaching; in terms of assessment methods, based on the improvement of traditional written examinations, the students' ability to apply knowledge in practice and solve practical problems is comprehensively exercised and examined through course design. This paper aims to cultivate innovative and compound talents for civil engineering, water conservancy and marine engineering.
