Engineering project management is a practical course which pays more attention to the combination of theory and practice. In order to combine the course teaching with engineering practice closely, to make the students deeply understand the theory and method of engineering project management through engineering practice, and to develop the student’s ability to analyze and solve the practical problems, the sand table simulation of project management teaching based on “sandwich” mode is introduced in this paper. It designs the simulation process of the whole program for project management teaching based on “sandwich” mode which provides a theoretical foundation for the simulation. On basis of that, some suggestions were proposed to promote the project management teaching by sand table. It provides a strong support to implement the practice teaching of sand table simulation.
