Abstract:The teaching method of problembased learning is used in the teaching of graduation design of civil engineering. The students are asked to discuss the engineering actual problem in the graduation design and to learn from each other’s strong points and raise the level together . It is convenient for students to learn the knowledge that they studied before and to build up a system knowledge structure of civil engineering. The ability of students for learning independently, united cooperation, resolving actual engineering problem is cultivated, and the teaching quality of graduation project of civil engineering is promoted.
