Abstract:The status about instrument and equipment in the engineering survey laboratory is described in this paper. The gap between the existing measuring instruments and measuring instrument commonly used in society at present, and the disadvantage of teaching effect are also pointed out. Based on the aiding with the professional assessment for civil engineering, the equipment purchase plan of laboratory is made. According to the new equipments and the influence of engineering survey course, the teaching content, teaching method, teaching requirements and implementation plan are modified.
