Curriculum ideological and political education is an important measure to strengthening morality education. Deeply excavating the ideological and political education resources contained in various courses and teaching methods is the most basic, fundamental and urgent work of current education and teaching. Due to the great difference between engineering professional courses and ideological and political courses, how to exploit and make full use of the hidden "Ideological and political treasure" in professional courses, so as to achieve the synergistic educational effect of courses for ideological and political education and course of ideological and political education, is a new challenge faced by professional teachers at present. The knowledge points of engineering courses are often based on the principles of mechanics, and the philosophical thinking and aesthetics contained therein are important "Ideological and political treasures" that are easily ignored. This paper first analyzes the characteristics of engineering professional courses, then puts forward the ideological and political objectives of professional courses, and combs the ideological and political elements of the course from the aspects of philosophical thinking and aesthetics, engineering ethics, the spirit of great country craftsmen, the feeling of serving the country with science and technology and the responsibility of mission, and explores the effective integration ways taking the "bridge engineering" course as an example, which can be used as a reference for similar courses.
