Soil mechanics experiment is a basic course of civil engineering specialty, and soil mechanics experiment teaching is an important part of practical teaching in universities and colleges. Based on the concept of emerging engineering education, this paper analyzes the problems existing in the current soil mechanics practice teaching, puts forward reform measures. With students-oriented teaching, takes the cultivation of students’ comprehensive ability as purpose in order to cultivate students’ practical ability, improve students’ interest in experiment. Through the network experimental platform, we can provide students with preview before class, simulation operation and practical engineering data, so that students can really enter the experimental teaching. It can change the singleness of traditional experimental teaching, add open (innovative) experiments, promote students’ comprehensive mastery of soil mechanics theory and practice, make students give full play to their initiative, and lay a practical foundation for future research and study.
