The principles of engineering structural design,as an important fundamental theoretical course in civil engineering,have a crucial impact on the exercise of students'professional abilities and scientific research literacy.With the development of new technologies,structures,and concepts in the field of modern civil engineering,the course of engineering structural design principles should not only be based on the present contents,but also keep up with the times.This paper presents the analysis and elaborates on the content of traditional engineering structure design principles courses,and proposes an update mode and exploration direction for engineering structure design principles courses based on current technological development.The engineering structure design principles course is newly built from three aspects:class content reconstruction,course experimental teaching,and course assessment system.Taking typical major engineering projects as an opportunity,introducing the new materials and structures from modern civil engineering into traditional curriculum teaching,contributed to develop students with leading scientific research ideas.By emphasize the training of experimental process,changing the teaching mode and assessment system at different stages at prior to-,during-,and post-stageof the experiment,improves the students'enthusiasm and active participation,thereby comprehensively cultivating composite technology talents with solid foundation,strong practicality,and sharp thinking.
