Overview

The Civil Engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology is a first-class discipline, involving the field of disaster prevention and reduction engineering and protection  engineering,  structural  engineering,  municipal  engineering,  geotechnical engineering, bridge and tunnel engineering. 

Key facts

The department pays close attention to the international frontier and major national needs of civil engineering discipline, and has carried  out  in-depth  research  mainly  in  the  aspects  of  explosion  resistance  and protection  of  concrete  structure,  earthquake  resistance  and  vibration  control  of engineering structure, long-span space structure, structural health monitoring and safety assessment, intelligent material structure, underground building structure, foundation treatment and foundation engineering, rock mechanics and engineering, modern civil engineering testing technology, etc. At present, the department has six professional laboratories  for  structure,  geotechnical  engineering,  civil  engineering  materials, engineering measurement, hydrodynamics and structural simulation, and all kinds of laboratories cover an area of 2,500 square meters.In  teaching  activities,  the  department  imparts  an  in-depth  knowledge  of mathematical  and  scientific  principles,  as  well  as  of  engineering-specific  skills; particular attention is paid to the capacity for interdisciplinary discourse, management skills and critical thinking. The department has well-qualified faculty and experienced staff supported by well-equipped laboratories, computing facilities and skilled technical staff.
