Professional introduction

Civil and hydraulic engineering is a discipline covering both civil engineering and hydraulic engineering, aiming at cultivating engineering and technical talents with solid theoretical foundation and practical ability. The following will introduce the specialty of civil and hydraulic engineering in detail.

Civil and hydraulic engineering specialty is an interdisciplinary subject combining applied science and engineering technology, which mainly studies the knowledge and technology of civil and hydraulic engineering design, construction, management and maintenance. The talents trained in this major coordinate the development of various resources and design and build infrastructure, such as buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, ports and docks, reservoirs and hydropower stations.

First of all, in the education of civil and hydraulic engineering, students will learn basic scientific knowledge, including mathematics, mechanics, mechanics of materials, structural analysis and so on. To lay a solid foundation for the subsequent professional study and engineering practice.

Secondly, in civil engineering, students will learn civil engineering design and construction technology. They will study structural mechanics, soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, building materials, structural design, etc., and learn to use computer-aided design software for engineering design. In addition, the course also includes the knowledge of construction organization, management and quality control of civil engineering buildings.

In addition, in the major of hydraulic engineering, students will study hydraulics, water resources development and management, hydraulic structure and equipment, hydrology, hydraulic engineering design and so on. They will learn the collection and analysis of hydrological data, master the planning, design and construction technology of water conservancy projects, and cultivate the ability to solve problems such as water resources development, flood control and disaster prevention, and water environment protection.

In addition, students will receive practical education and training, and learn methods and skills to solve practical problems by participating in practical projects and engineering practices. In practice, they will further understand the actual needs and challenges of civil water conservancy projects, and cultivate engineering practice ability and teamwork spirit.

In terms of employment, graduates majoring in civil engineering and water conservancy have broad employment prospects. They can engage in civil engineering design, construction management and engineering supervision in state-owned, private or foreign-funded enterprises. You can also engage in research, teaching and scientific research in government departments, research institutes, universities and other units.
