Abstract: With the full implementation of the “Belt and Road” strategy, there are more and more
international students enrolling in engineering colleges and universities in China. Engineering
drawing is a very important course for the engineering specialty. In this paper, based on the teaching
practice of engineering drawing for civil international students, the experiential teaching mode is
proposed. This mode is student-centered and focuses on creating of situation and practicing. This
mode can spur the student to fuse personal experience and practice with self-examination and
internalization. Motivation, construction of mode, implementation method and the teaching effect of
this mode are discussed. It shows that this experiential teaching mode can attract the student and
improve the teaching effect.

Key words: civil engineering, engineering drawing, international undergraduate students;
