As an important position to train high-quality talents, higher education is actively exploring the deep integration of professional courses and ideological and political elements, in order to achieve the organic unity of knowledge imparting and value leading. In this context, Structural Mechanics, as a basic core course for engineering majors, has become a key area of curriculum ideological and political construction due to its inherent difficulties such as abstract teaching content, disconnection between theory and practice, and weak cognitive foundation of students. In order to solve these teaching problems and realize the fundamental task of educating people by virtue, it is an important exploration to construct the integrated teaching system of ideological politics and structural mechanics. The system takes engineering ethics, social responsibility, craftsman spirit and other ideological and political elements as the starting point, and re-designs teaching content and teaching methods by strengthening the combination of theory and practice and the connection between knowledge and life. The teaching practice adopts case teaching method and group cooperative learning. After effect evaluation, the system not only effectively solves teaching difficulties, improves students mastery of knowledge, but also significantly enhances the effect of ideological and political education, improves students awareness of engineering ethics and professional responsibility, lays a foundation for cultivating engineering talents with both moral and ability, and is expected to achieve a breakthrough in teaching effect and ideological and political education.
