Exploration of Bridge Engineering Course Practice and Teaching Methods Based on Structure Design Contests

Abstract

Bridge engineering is a compulsory course for civil engineering majors.Under the background of engineering education professional certifi cation,how to enhance students’interest and ability in engineering practice in course teaching is a problem that needs to be considered at present.Taking the bridge structure design contests as the platform,the bridge engineering course teaching and structure design contests are combined to solve the problems existing in the current teaching process,which can stimulate students’interest in learning and make students take the initiative to learn.This paper mainly explores the course practice and teaching methods of bridge engineering based on structure design contests,summarizes the promotion eff ect of bridge structure design contests on course teaching,and points out the existing problems and solutions.This exploration of course practice and teaching method can provide reference for related course teaching.
