The course of fluid transmission and distribution pipe network is one of the core platform courses for the major of building environment and energy application engineering. It has both strong theoretical and close integration with engineering practice. In order to understand the effectiveness and shortcomings of the construction and teaching methods of this course, a questionnaire survey is conducted. The questionnaire consists of 20 questions. These questions relate to the understanding of the course, the purpose of the study, the way of learning, teaching effectiveness, and opinions on teaching books, homework and teaching methods. The survey shows that the undergraduates are not aware of the importance and necessity of the course, and generally lack good preview habits and low participation in the classroom. In addition, it is suggested to enhance the readability of textbooks, guide students to learn independently and combine teaching with practice. The results mainly reflect the problems existing in the teaching and learning processes of the course, and the corresponding suggestions and improvement directions has been put forward, providing references for the educational reform.
