The graduation design is a transition element for college students from the university to the society, and the society evaluation on graduates is the living basis of universities and colleges. Based on my experience of guiding graduation design and the effect of teaching reform on the civil engineering specialty in Henan University of Urban Construction, I systematically analyzed the related teaching link, course design, topic selection, and doubletutor system of graduation design teaching reform, and the results provide a reference for universities and colleges in normalizing and developing the guide of graduation design.
