In the east of China, there is such a beautiful landscape, where mountains, rivers, lakes and springs are integrated. The Yangtze River passes through the city with a coastline of nearly 200 kilometers. It is Nanjing. As the four largest garden cities in China, Nanjing has a water area of over 1 1% of the total area, a forest coverage rate of 26.4%, a green coverage rate of 45% in the built-up area, and a per capita public green area of 13.7 square meters, ranking the top three in China.

This unique hydraulic resource indirectly shaped Hohai University, which was born out of water, acted on the edge of water and grew smoothly. Its predecessor can be traced back to 19 15' s "Hehai Engineering College" founded in Nanjing, 1924 merged with the Engineering Department of National Southeast University to form Hehai Engineering University, and 1952 cooperated with Jiaotong University in water conservancy.

1960 was recognized as a national key university by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. 1985 was officially renamed as "Hohai University".

Hohai University is a key university directly under the Ministry of Education, focusing on water conservancy and engineering, with coordinated development of multiple disciplines. It is not only a university jointly established by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Water Resources, the State Oceanic Administration and the People's Government of Jiangsu Province, but also a university built by "21Project" and "985 Engineering Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform".

In addition, Hohai University is also a national "double-class" construction university, and its two disciplines, water conservancy engineering and environmental science and engineering, are shortlisted as world-class discipline construction disciplines. Among them, hydraulic engineering was rated as A+ in the fourth round of national discipline evaluation, and civil engineering and environmental science and engineering were also rated as A-level.

Such a university, which combines favorable weather, favorable geographical location and harmonious people, ranks among the top 65,438+0% in ESI world in five disciplines: hydraulic engineering, environment/ecology, computer science, material science and earth science.

Its seven disciplines, including engineering mechanics, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics and river dynamics, hydraulic structure engineering, hydrology and water resources, port and coastal and offshore engineering, are listed as two national key disciplines, and technical economy and management and environmental engineering are also set as two national key disciplines. Taken together, these subjects show the unique features of universities to the public.

With the continuous strengthening of discipline construction in Hohai University, the scientific research level of Hohai University has been improved to some extent.

Hohai University has more than 30 scientific research platforms at or above the provincial level, including the State Key Laboratory of Hydrology and Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering Science, the State Engineering Research Center for Efficient Utilization of Water Resources and Engineering Safety, the Key Laboratory of Comprehensive Management and Resource Development of Shallow Lakes, the Key Laboratory of Coastal Disaster and Protection, the Key Laboratory of Efficient Irrigation and Drainage in South China, the Key Laboratory of Agricultural Water and Soil Environment, and the Key Laboratory of Geotechnical Mechanics and Dam Engineering.

Hohai University, a top university with first-class scientific research level, is not what everyone wants?

Speaking of which, Bian Xiao couldn't help being moved by it. In the past five years, Hohai University has successively won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress, the second prize of national natural science, the second prize of national technological invention, the second prize of national scientific and technological progress, and the scientific and technological awards at or above the provincial and ministerial level, and undertaken scientific research projects that directly serve the national economic construction, such as the national key projects of 973 and 863 and the national major water conservancy projects. This pile of scientific research results shows the unique charm of Hohai University invisibly.

In Nanjing, such a university focusing on water conservancy construction can not help but bring you a fresh and pleasant comfort, and it is a good place to volunteer for the college entrance examination.
