With the appearance of complex project structures and large numbers of mega-structure, it is particularly urgent for the civil and hydro-power engineering undergraduates to strengthen the structure analysis capabilities (including computerized ability) training. We organically combined the matrix displacement method of the structural mechanics with the finite element method of the elasticity, built the course of finite element method in structural analysis in accordance with the demand of innovative advanced expertise training, and prepared and published the textbook and computer programs with C language carefully. Some teaching reforms were carried out according to the characteristics of the curriculum from aspects of classroom instruction, hands-on practice, teaching, and examinations so as to develop the leading role of teachers and students, which had achieved a good teaching effect.
