BIM + VR is a brand new technology with new concepts, which brings new motive forces and should be an inevitable trend for informatization development of construction industry. The popularization of BIM and VR technology demands large number of new talents, which in turn puts forward new requirements for the cultivation of civil undergraduate students. This paper firstly summarizes the current problems of CAD teaching mode in civil engineering, then introduces the current application status of BIM and VR technology, and finally explores and practices the CAD teaching mode with BIM and VR in civil engineering combining with the talent training plan and teaching conditions of civil engineering specialty in our country. The new teaching mode not only enables students to understand and to use BIM and VR technology, but also improves students' innovative and practical ability.
