Abstract: Based on the characteristics of the course and teaching objects, the teaching contents and methods of Material Test Methods are reformed. The knowledge on engineer practice is added and the programmatic knowledge frame structure is established, which contributes to improve the abilities of solving the engineering practice problems according to comprehensive knowledge. The teaching modes of elicitation method, case, and problem chains are applied and the teaching quality is improved. The experiment teaching contents are reformed in order to strengthen the manipulative ability and independent analysis ability. The teaching quality of this course is improved and independent analysis and engineering practice abilities of students are improved through the teaching reforming.
