Mine Rock Mechanics is a required professional core course for undergraduate students of mining engineering in institutions of higher learning. During the learning process of the "Mine Rock Mechanics", most students feel difficult and lack interest. The students have only understood the basic knowledge points superficially and applied existing formulas mechanically, and lacked the engineering applications with the knowledge points of "Mine Rock Mechanics". Based on the engineering case teaching method, the engineering cases to solve specific problems and the knowledge points of "Mine Rock Mechanics" were combined in the paper, and the typical case library were built and practiced in teaching content. The result shows that the teaching effect is better by using the typical case teaching content, and easilyachieves teaching objectives. The typical cases can greatly stimulate students' interest in learning "Mine Rock Mechanics", and well guide students to use the learned knowledge to understand and solve practical engineering problems, effectively cultivate students' practical innovation ability.
