Abstract: How to make use of limited reservoirs to create geotechnical engineering courses system and bring up innovating students is stated in this paper. Courses of the undergraduate and graduate are overall planned to form clearly demarcated courses system according to characteristics of the students and advantages of the teachers. Course system establishing is pushed by establishing model course of the soil mechanics course and writing five textbooks. The senses of creation are improved by reforming teaching methods such as heuristic approach and interactive education method. Versatile students are trained by engaging in scientific research projects, taking part in academic exchanges, undertaking internal and international seminars of the geotechnical engineer
