The project-driven experimental course teaching model focuses on the cultivation of students’ practical and innovative abilities, with projects as the core. This study takes the course “Building Materials and Testing” as an example to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of specific implementation methods of the project-driven experimental course teaching model. Through practical case analysis, it was found that this teaching model effectively enhanced the student’s practical hands-on abilities, innovative thinking abilities, and teamwork abilities. In this teaching model, students are not just passive recipients of knowledge, but actively learn by participating in project practice. They need to apply the knowledge they have learned to solve practical problems and cooperate with team members to complete project tasks. This learning approach makes students more proactive and positive, cultivating their practical hands-on abilities and teamwork abilities. With this, the teaching of experimental courses in architectural majors can refer to and draw lessons from the project-driven experimental course teaching model. However, teachers need to pay attention to solving potential problems when implementing this teaching model to ensure optimal teaching outcomes.
