土木工程招生与培养向大类模式发展已成必然趋势，为适应大类培养的需要，亟需建设一批具有学科交叉性与综合性的专业课程。海绵城市是指城市像“海绵”一样，下雨时吸水、蓄水、渗水、浸水，需要时将蓄存的水“释放”并加以利用。海绵城市涉及水系统、建筑住宅区系统、道路广场系统、地下空间系统等，其设计与建造又需要土木工程、水利工程、建筑学、城乡规划学、风景园林学、环境科学与工程、气候学、生态学、社会学等多学科的共同支撑。因此，海绵城市相关课程满足大类模式“宽口径、厚基础、强实践、多样化”的培养目标。然而，现有海绵城市相关课程面临教学内容系统性不强、教学过程学生参与度不高、教学各环节思政导入不够等问题。清华大学自2017年面向土木大类本科生开设了海绵城市导论课程，经过五年的教学实践与改革，充分考虑课程内容深度与广度的平衡，构建了具有大类培养特色的海绵城市课程体系与教学方法，形成了由专业教师、校外专家、修缮校园管理中心教师组成的三位一体教学团队，并在教学过程中加强了思政内容的导入，基本建成了适合大类模式的海绵城市导论课程。

Civil engineering enrollment and education are towards the mode of broad-category, and thus it is urgent to build a batch of interdisciplinary and comprehensive professional courses to meet the need of broad-category education. Sponge city means a city works like a "sponge" that absorbs, stores, seeps, and soaks water when it rains, and "releases" and utilizes the stored water when needed. Sponge city involves water system, building system, road system, and underground space system. Its design and construction require the knowledges and techniques from civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, architecture, urban and rural planning, landscape architecture, and environmental science. Therefore, the courses on sponge city meet the educational objectives of broad-category, i.e., wide vision, solid foundation, strong practical ability, and diversification. However, the existing courses on sponge city have the problems of incomprehensive teaching content, low student participation, and insufficient ideological content. Since 2017, Tsinghua University has opened the course of introduction to sponge city for undergraduates majored in the broad-category of civil engineering. After five years of teaching practice and reform, a systematic curriculum system and teaching methodology have been formed for the introduction to sponge city with the characteristics of broad-category, in which the depth and breadth of the course content are well balanced. The teaching team is composed of professional faculties, industry experts, and staff from the renovation campus management center. The ideological contents are included in the different teaching process. The course of introduction to sponge city is suitable for the mode of broad-category.
