There are three major directions in this major, namely, construction engineering, traffic civil engineering, mine construction and underground engineering. This major mainly cultivates relatively perfect theoretical knowledge of civil architecture, obtains basic training for engineers, and has innovative spirit, innovative ability and practical ability. With preliminary project planning and high scientific research and technology development ability, I can engage in technology and research in the design, research, construction, management, investment, development and education departments of housing construction, underground construction, tunnels, roads, bridges, mines, municipal administration, water conservancy, ports and other industries. The main courses studied are: engineering mechanics, structural mechanics, geotechnical mechanics, civil engineering materials, structural design principles, structural design, civil engineering construction, etc. This major lasts for four years, and a bachelor's degree in engineering will be awarded upon graduation. There are postdoctoral mobile stations, doctoral programs and master programs in this major. Excellent graduates can apply for (or be exempted from) master's degree and doctor's degree, and excellent students in this major can go to the University of Nottingham in the UK to study for a master's degree. In 2005, civil engineering specialty was awarded the first batch of brand specialty in Jiangsu Province, and passed the professional evaluation of the Ministry of Construction in 2005.
