Abstract:Through the study on teaching model of civil engineering major in applied undergraduate education, the author points out that teaching should focus on applied teaching. Under the integrity of knowledge system, we can optimize the structure of course system by reducing the proportion of basic courses and increasing the proportion of applied courses combined with practical courses. At the same time, we should optimize the course order based on students’ interests instead of considering knowledge system,knowledge integrity and knowledge consistency. We should obey the law of cognition and use the open experimental teaching method in the field of experimental teaching. What’s more, we should reasonably arrange the order and scope of the lessons to improve the students’ selfstudy and innovation abilities.
