Through the introduction of the experience of foreign civil engineering materials experiment teaching and combining with the characteristics of our own experimental teaching, the improvement of civil engineering materials experimental teaching has been studied. The verificative research, comprehensive design and exploratory research should be worked together and civil engineering materials laboratory should be supported for students. The complete evaluation mechanism should also be set up as well as the experiment teaching contents need updating in time. These measures can not only help students with enhancing independent thinking and active practicing ability, but also improve the level of our school’s experimental teaching and the utilization rate of the instrument and equipment.
