The proposal of emerging engineering education gives the new connotation of multimedia courseware of civil engineering specialty. Based on the new situation of emerging engineering education construction and industry development of pre-fabricated buildings, this paper analyzed and summarized the current situation of multimedia courseware production, and proposed four principles of multimedia courseware production, teaching, flexibility, innovation and humanity. Taking the course of the fundamental theory of steel structure design in our school as an example, the basic ideas of multimedia courseware production were described in detail. The example of multimedia courseware is enriched content, strong characteristics of the times, obvious regional characteristics, deep ideological and political concepts and wide application. Practice shows that the teaching effect is satisfactory, which can provide some reference for the multimedia courseware production for similar engineering courses.
