Smoke control design course is one of the important professional practice courses of fire engineering. Under the background of emerging engineering education, it is the development direction and requirement of higher engineering education to strengthen the teaching reform of practical courses and cultivate undergraduates with stronger innovation ability and practical ability. This paper analyzed the current situation and problems of this course in China's teaching work, the reform measures for smoke control design practice teaching are proposed. By updating the teaching content and improving the ability of teaching teachers, optimizing classroom teaching methods, upgrading teaching means and tools to improve the quality of practical teaching of smoke control design. and cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability, as well promote the continuous progress of professional teaching level.
