In order to respond to the strategy of "Industry Strengthen Province" in Guizhou Province, to achieve the goal of transformation and upgrading of the college and training applied talents for local economy and society, teaching reform is imperative. According to the requirement of application-oriented development, taking the introduction class of Structural Mechanics as an example, this paper analyzes the existing problems in the course teaching and puts forward the viewpoint that "introduction class is the key and difficult point of entire course teaching". On the basis of higher education theory and teaching practice, this paper defines the teaching objectives, shows the key points and methods and points out the precautions in the introduction class. The conclusions of this paper can provide reference for the colleagues.

Abstract-This paper aims to discuss the teaching reform of higher engineering education. Based on the standard of Excellent Engineer Education Training Plan, this paper studies the teaching methods of Structural Mechanics, emphasizes the status and effect of the Structural Mechanics in the course system of Civil Engineering, points out the misunderstanding and deficiencies in the course teaching of engineering mechanics. Combining with higher education theory and teaching practice, this paper emphasizes the engineering education should integrate mechanics theory with engineering practice and presents eight recommendations for the application-oriented Structural Mechanics teaching reform. This paper is the exploration of the improvement of higher education quality and reformation of undergraduate teaching.
