Hohai University is a national key university with a history of more than 100 years, featuring water conservancy, focusing on engineering and coordinated development of multiple disciplines. It is a university that implements the national key construction of 2 1 1 project, the innovation platform of national dominant disciplines, the double-class construction and the approval of the Ministry of Education to set up a graduate school.

Over the past hundred years, the school has grown and developed in the process of harnessing water and rejuvenating the country, and is known as the cradle of cultivating high-level innovative and entrepreneurial talents in water conservancy and an important base for scientific and technological innovation in water conservancy. The school has Xikang Road Campus, Jiangning Campus and Changzhou Campus in Nanjing and Changzhou, covering an area of 2,462 mu.

Hohai University originated from Hohai Engineering College founded by famous patriotic industrialist and educator Zhang Jianyu in modern times 19 15. It is the first institution of higher learning in China to train water conservancy talents, which is the first of its kind in China. Proletarian revolutionaries such as Zhang Wentian and Shen Zemin studied in He Hai and embarked on the revolutionary road from here.

Geological engineering mainly studies the general situation, evaluation, transformation and protection of geological environment and other related knowledge and skills, covering the ground, underground, land, ocean and so on, and plays an important role in engineering planning and disaster prediction. For example: investigation of geological structure and geological background of construction sites, general survey and exploration of mineral resources such as gold mines and lead mines, prediction and evaluation of geological disasters such as earthquakes, etc.

Employment direction and prospect of geological engineering specialty

1. Energy field: Geological engineering plays an important role in the exploration, development and utilization of oil, natural gas, coal and other energy sources.

2. Mineral resources: Geological engineers have professional technical requirements for mineral resources exploration, mine development and management.

3. Field of prevention and control of geological disasters: With the acceleration of urbanization, geological disasters have become an important issue.

4. Infrastructure construction: Geological engineers can participate in geological survey, geological disaster assessment and geological engineering design of highway, railway, tunnel and bridge projects, and provide technical support for construction.

5. Environmental protection and governance: Geological engineers can participate in environmental geological survey, environmental geological evaluation and environmental geological governance, and provide professional support for environmental protection and governance.
