School of Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Construction Management have long been committed to in-depth cooperation with enterprises. Over the five years from 2018 to 2022, they signed practical teaching cooperation agreements with 22 enterprises, including Yantai Vanke, China Construction Eighth Engineering Division, Beijing Urban Construction Group, Hangxiao Steel Structure, Jinyu Liushui, and Glodon, and established a number of high-level practical teaching bases. At the same time, in conjunction with the production internship practical teaching courses, a standardized long-term development mechanism for practical teaching has been established. At present, relying on the construction of practical teaching bases, the Department of Civil Engineering has built a complete department-base joint practical training model, effectively enhancing students' all-round abilities in solving practical engineering and technical problems, conducting whole-process project management, and organizing and managing large and complex systems engineering and team leadership, and promoting the deep integration of practical teaching with the operation and management of top engineering enterprises, the technical management of large and complex projects, students' employment choices, and the direction of capability growth.

In terms of international cooperation, in recent years, the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Construction Management have vigorously carried out international exchanges and cooperation, and steady progress has been made in various aspects of work: more than 300 person-times of faculty and students go abroad (overseas) on official business each year, and the number of overseas visiting experts received has increased year by year; the departments actively engage university-level honorary academic titles, among which distinguished visiting professors account for nearly 20% at the university level. Over the years, the two departments have successively signed university-level or department-level cooperation agreements with many universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Belgium, France, Germany, and other countries, actively host or undertake international conferences, and adopt the approach of "going out and inviting in" to intensify international cooperation and enhance international influence.
