Abstract: In view of the requirements of new engineering on higher education, combined with the current situation that students are difficult to be attracted by the classroom in the era of attention economy, a classroom design ideas based on the three-act narrative mode was proposed. The macroscopic course organization and specific classroom design improvement ideas of engineering fluid mechanics course are investigated from three aspects, i.e., time allocation, content arrangement and attention grabbing. Finally, taking the chapter of Bernoulli's equation as an example, the specific implementation process of narrative classroom is given. It stimulates students' interest in independent learning in and out of class, and improves their innovative motivation and solving ability to practical engineering problem.
