But for non-english major, especially for engineering students, the implementation of english teaching is a double-edged sword. In this paper, on the basis of the characteristics of engineering course, with the perspective of teachers and students, the advantages and disadvantages of English teaching in the engineering universityies are anamyzed. I hope that English teaching can make the best use of the advantages and bypass the disadvantages in the future.
