The college has two first-class disciplines, civil engineering and mechanics, of which civil engineering is the key discipline in Hubei Province. As an important part of "water conservancy and civil excavation engineering discipline group", it has four doctoral programs in civil engineering and civil water conservancy, covering geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, disaster prevention and mitigation engineering and protection engineering, and municipal engineering. Mechanics is a key discipline of the first-class discipline in Hubei Province, with a doctoral degree in the first-class discipline of mechanics, covering two doctoral degrees in solid mechanics and engineering mechanics. The college has 8 two disciplines master's degree authorization points and 2 professional master's degree authorization points. The college has three undergraduate majors: civil engineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, and engineering mechanics. Among them, civil engineering specialty is a national specialty, "excellent engineer education and training plan" and a comprehensive reform pilot specialty. In 2004 and 2009, it passed the national civil engineering professional evaluation of ordinary colleges and universities with validity periods of 5 years, 5 years and 8 years respectively, and 20 17 years is 6 years. In 2009 and 20 14, the major of water supply and drainage science and engineering passed the national assessment of water supply and drainage science and engineering in ordinary colleges and universities, and in 20 19, it passed the international professional certification of engineering education.
