Based on goals of civil engineering special major construction and teaching experience in many years, we analyzed problems in graduation design teaching of civil engineering in local universities and colleges. To improve graduation design teaching quality, we proposed some solutions as follows: planning the graduation design according to the requirement of employing corporations and students, formulating the graduation design standard, beginning the graduation design as early as possible, selecting multiple subjects, strengthening university-corporation cooperation, and taking full advantage of internet in graduation design teaching.
