Abstract: This paper introduces the nature, historical origin, evolution of teaching content and course system and the significance of course construction of Design of Concrete Structure and Masonry Structure in Central South University. This course constructs the "four-module" curriculum system of structural concept design module, structural analysis module, structural design module and new structure and new technology module, and proposes the combination of traditional knowledge teaching of civil engineering with the latest technological progress, the combination of professional knowledge teaching and modern information technology, the combination of book knowledge teaching and the introduction of teachers' scientific research results and the teaching of basic concepts.The "four combination" classroom ideological and political education principle and course content combined with engineering case teaching innovates the extracurricular active learning and research principle and teaching method of "five extension", which extends classroom teaching to experimental teaching, course design, graduation design, discipline competition and extracurricular scientific and technological innovation activities. The course features clearly. Good results have been achieved in teaching staff construction, teaching material construction, teaching reform and innovative training.
