To solve the current problems of poor education effectiveness in bridge engineering production practice and lack of bridge BIM talents, Southwest Jiaotong University tries to embed BIM training in bridge engineering production practice. By investigating the arrangement of domestic and foreign BIM courses, the education reform objective is proposed. Based on the objective, the implementation plan, exercise program and assessment method in bridge engineering production practice reform are explored. The advantages and disadvantages of the education reform are summarized by analyzing the BIM training reports submitted by students enrolled in 2016-2018. Results show that with the help of the education reform, the BIM application level of students is greatly improved. At the same time, it enhances students’ subjective initiative, stimulates their scientific innovation ability, and achieves good effect in practice.
