A curriculum based on the CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) principles was proposed for the Geotechnical engineering programme in the School of civil Engineering at Henan Polytechnic University in China. The CDIO engineering education principle is introduced in brief. Some problems in the process of geotechnical engineering teaching are analyzed, then the revelation on the teaching innovation practice of geotechnical engineering based on CDIO are detailed discussed. It is indicated that curriculum based CDIO puts students in a broad and active engineering environment where they learn and use engineering science, technology and non-engineering knowledge, and exercise their communication, project management, leadership and other skills.
