Abstract: The construction of emerging engineering puts forward higher requirements for the teaching content of engineering and technical talents and the cultivation of innovation-leading talents. As one of the important courses of water supply and drainage related majors, Water Engineering Construction can stimulate students' interest in engineering practice and improve their ability to solve problems in a targeted manner. Combination the questionnaire for the grade 2017 and 2018 undergraduate students of the water supply and drainage science and engineering in East China University of Technology, this article puts forward the relevant measures of teaching reform. Curriculum reform, which should concentrate on outcome-oriented education, also need introduce engineering technology development frontier, and the teaching content should reflect cutting-edge and contemporary features. The teaching mode, for example, student-centered case teaching methods and group discussion teaching methodism, should establish the student-centered concept with the combination of multimedia means and network resources. The curriculum assessment should enrich the assessment and evaluation methods, which will make the assessment methods diversified. The three models promote and improve each other.
