According to the course characteristics of fluid mechanics and the field working experience and teaching achievement of the author, five teaching reform measures are discussed as follows: optimizing the teaching content, simplifying the lecturing means, exerting the traditional teaching advantage, excavating the potential of multimedia teaching, cultivating the student’s innovation ability. Some efficient teaching methods are put forward to help the students understand the key contents of the fluid mechanics. This study is meaningful for improving the teaching quality of fluid mechanics and exploring the teaching mode of specialty base course on the condition of collective profession background.
