Abstract:Since the aesthetics is more and more important in bridge design, and bridge engineering course can just solve the problem of structural calculation, we need a new course to teach students how to design the form and landscape of bridge. Three sections of conceptual design of bridges were introduced, and the class hour, teaching contents, teaching methods, and assessment methods of the course were presented. The importance of bridge history in cultivating innovative thinking was emphasized and the additional functions of curriculum design and homework were discussed.
