To improve the teaching effect of civil engineering introduction, based on years of teaching experience and summarization of relevant research literatures, we discussed on teaching methods systematically combined with structural features of the civil engineering introduction course and presented several effective teaching methods, such as stimulating students’ professional pride and sense of responsibility, using multimedia teaching, training students for self-learning, and adopting case teaching and practical teaching. At the same time, some useful methods such as helping students to establish career planning and improving teachers’ teaching quality were discussed in the paper. Practice results show that the teaching reform is effective to stimulate students’ study passion, enrich the teaching content, and improve teaching quality.
