Practical teaching of engineering geological is an important way to cultivate the ability of analyzing and solving the problem with engineering geological theories. The practical teaching situation of engineering geological course was investigated for non geological engineering students of three universities in Hunan province. Then four problems were present for the practical teaching of engineering geological course, including shortage of practical teaching class time, lack of outside practical teaching funds, shortage of outside practical teaching place and low ratio of teachers and students. Five teaching reform methods were suggested, which were arranging reasonable teaching time, combining teaching contents with the practice, adopting practical engineering discussion in teaching, combining experiments with engineering practice, and using practical teaching method.
