            Abstract : 
Microcomputer control technology is the curriculum with strong theoretical and practical characteristics. At present, most students can´t skillfully use the learned knowledge to solve the problems in engineering. In order to improve the students´ ability of theoretical analysis and practice of microcomputer control technology, we did research on the curriculum reform. The paper analyzes the problems existing in the course teaching. According to the teaching requirements and characteristics, various ways are employed, including reforming and updating the course content, combining theory instruction, computer aided tutoring, practical exercising and academic discussion in the teaching procedure, etc. Teaching reform has been successfully applied in Henan Polytechnic University and achieved significant effect.
