Basic mechanics experimental teaching is an important factor for training undergraduate talents
in civil engineering. Based on the idea of engineering education certification, the teaching reform of basic
mechanics experimental courses was carried out. Analyzing the problems that exist in the traditional
experimental teaching at present, a student-centered multi-level experimental teaching system of basic mechanics
was proposed. The experimental procedures of elevated experiment were introduced by using an example. Then
the teaching assessment and quality control system under the model of professional certification were discussed.
The teaching practice has shown that the multi-level experimental teaching system of basic mechanics can
cultivate the students’ spirit of teamwork and innovation, and enhance the ability to solve complex engineering
problems.
