Abstract: The Foundation of Materials Science is the professional basic course of material science and the most important core course of material science. The course mainly introduces the material organizational structure and its influence law on the material performance and other core teaching content. In view of the disconnection between theory and practice, single teaching methods, poor learning enthusiasm and low participation, this paper proposes to carry out hierarchical teaching exploration on the Foundation of Material Science Course based on PBL and Rain classroom intelligent teaching tools. The teaching model is explored from the setting of PBL teaching method, student and hierarchical mixed teaching design. The aim is to improve the course teaching experience based on effective teaching concepts and network intelligent teaching tools, and finally increase students learning harvest, and improve students' ability to analyze and solve problems.

Key words: Material science foundation, Teaching status quo, Teaching reform
