Positive results in Brazilian research institutions have been developed on the use of NOCMAT (bamboo, vegetable fibers, bio-composites, recycled conventional materials, etc.) since 1979 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio, Department of Civil Engineering).
In countries such as China and India, bamboo is being used for thousands of years [3, 4] and currently for various purposes, including civil construction [5, 6, 7].
F) Civil construction [5, 27, 28, 29]: in housing, the technology developed enables cost reduction and time for building affordable housing [30, 31].
With the deepening of studies on the potential and advantages of using bamboo, eco plates materials or ecological wood, into the Brazilian civil construction and the increased use of methods for environmental conservation assessment, in a very few years, these NOCMAT will appear as fundamental ones to be specified in different civil construction projects by architects, engineers and managers interested to meet these methods and its criteria.

The teaching mode reform exploring of 《Engineering bidding and contract manegement》 Sujuan Zhang Civil Engineering School, Shandong Jiao Tong University, Jinan, Shandong, 250023, China Zhangsujuan2007@sina.com Keywords:The bidding and contract management The teaching reform Scenario simulation training Abstract:《Engineering bidding and contract manegement》is a core curriculum of engineering management major, this curriculum has a decisive influence for engineering management major students' whole knowledge system.
Engineering bidding and contract management have an integral relationship.
At this stage in our Institute of Civil Engineering, Engineering bidding and Contract management has been integrated into one curriculum, we have optimized the content of this curriculum, and have formed a distinctive curriculum system.But relatively single teaching mode will make students lose learning initiative and lack the ability of preparing the tender documents and the bidding documents,lack the ability of signing a contract.
