Practice teaching is an important part of undergraduate teaching of civil engineering. Curriculum ideological and political education is an effective channel for cultivating high-quality talents with correct political direction and solid professional knowledge and skills. Integrating curriculum ideological and political education into practical teaching is a requirement of the current higher education reform, and it is also a key measure to realize whole process of education. This paper takes the course of engineering geology practice of the civil engineering major in Wuhan Institute of Technology as an example to analyze the current situation of curriculum ideological and political education, and propose a series of improvement methods, such as, improving the ideological and political awareness of college teachers by holding training activities and increasing support, carefully designing practical routes according to talent training objectives and teaching content and deeply exploring curriculum ideological and political elements, flexibly using a variety of teaching methods to implement ideological and political education, and setting up three feedback channels in the short-term, medium-term and long-term to investigate the implementation effect of curriculum ideological and political education. Practice shows that the above measures have achieved good results in the engineering geology practice course, realized the synergistic effect of professional knowledge teaching as well as ideological and political education. The research results can provide some reference for the curriculum ideological and political education in civil engineering and similar majors in practice teaching links.
