Due to the lack of facilities for the automatic control of laboratory instruments of environmental problems, the reform used Labview software platform for experimental teaching to improve the facility agricultural science and engineering student’s practical ability. The course was divided into two sections: review of theoretical knowledge and experiment. The experiment also consisted of innovative part, to provide students with a combined environment of theoretical and practical trains. According to survey results, 85% of students were able to complete programming independently and 81% of students were able to optimize all four parameters in innovative part. This reform helps facility agricultural science and engineering students to understand and master the main points of the course, improves the ability of engineering practice, and enhances students’ knowledge structure and their ability of independence thinking and innovation.
