The collaborative education of science and education is an important concept of talent training in universities, and it is also a hot issue for university administrators and higher education researchers. It is of great significance to integrate scientific research results into classroom and realize the integration of science and education to cultivate talents. However, there are still some problems such as the way of scientific research achievements and organic integration into teaching. Therefore, this paper takes the civil engineering materials course as an example, which is an important compulsory course for civil engineering majors, to explore and practice the implementation path of the concept of science and education collaboration. On the basis of analyzing the teaching difficulties of this course, such as the content of the textbook lagging behind the practice, the disconnection between theoretical teaching and practical application, and the lack of students’ interest in learning, the trinity of teaching objectives of theoretical knowledge, innovation ability and scientific research accomplishment is put forward. This paper explores the connection point between theoretical teaching and experimental teaching resources, the breakthrough point between research results and professional knowledge, and expounds the implementation path of the concept of collaborative education through science and education combined with typical teaching cases. The practice results show that the students’ participation in the classroom is higher, their learning initiative is stronger, and their professional knowledge, innovation ability and scientific research literacy have been greatly improved. The research work can provide some reference for the teaching of materials courses of civil engineering specialty.
