Abstract:Requested by globalization of economics and internationalization of scientific research and higher education,national departments concerned have released some documents one after another to supervise and urge the universities to intensify reforms on education,such as optimizing curriculum system and continuing to expand the quantity of bilingual education curriculum,in order to be brought in line with international practice.Soil Mechanics is the basis for solving many engineering problems in civil engineering (geotechnical engineering),geophysical engineering and engineering geology.It is a wise move to run Soil Mechanics as a pilot under the condition of being unable to put all specialized courses as a bilingual education into practice.Several key links which will greatly affect on teaching quality of bilingual education are discussed,such as the selection of bilingual textbook,the organization of the faculty,the cultivation of students' basic skills,improvement of teaching quality and etc.,which are also the essential conditions for doing a good job in bilingual education of Soil Mechanics.
