Aiming at the obstacles of the traditional teaching mode which carrying on the basic principles of steel structure in civil engineering lessons, we conclude a project teaching method which is based on "the whole process control". Putting actual construction project into every section of classroom teaching, it can be closely combined with practical engineering and the classroom teaching content. At the same time, it can place the classroom teaching content under the whole framework of structure design. That will guide the students get knowledge from the real subject design, namely "Do In Learn". This method will show good influence on improving the students' practice ability and the cultivation of excellent engineer.
