Eighteen colleges and universities of research universities, teaching and research university and application oriented college were selected as analysis samples of civil engineering major. The goal, structure, characteristics, organization, teaching and assessment of teaching practice were sort out, compared and summarized, and the practice teaching of civil engineering major were compared with that in the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Japan and other developed countries. It points out that our country's civil engineering major in training idea and goal, practice teaching system, the organization of practice teaching implementation, practice teaching security and practice teaching mode innovation urgently need to be improved and strengthened to ensure and improve the practical ability of civil engineering professionals.
