Civil Engineering

      The civil engineering major of Chongqing University is one of the famous civil engineering majors in China. It has a long history and has trained more than 20000 graduates. The graduates have made remarkable achievements in China's civil engineering industry and have outstanding industry influence. The supply of graduates is in short supply.

The major of civil engineering passed the professional evaluation of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development with "excellent" scores or the maximum evaluation qualification period (8 years) in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2013. After graduation, students have the priority to apply for national registered structural engineer, registered geotechnical engineer and other professional qualifications. This major is a national characteristic specialty (2008), a characteristic specialty of Chongqing's "three special action plan" (2013), and a pilot specialty of the "excellent engineer education and training plan" of the Ministry of Education (2013). In 2019, this major became one of the first batch of national first-class undergraduate construction majors.

The major of civil engineering is oriented to the needs of national construction, adapt to the future development direction of the civil engineering industry, cultivate the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor, have the feelings of home and country, good humanistic quality, professional ethics and sense of social responsibility, master the relevant basic knowledge of natural science, professional foundation and professional knowledge of geotechnical engineering, and be competent for the design, construction, operation and maintenance, management, science and education related to civil engineering, Capable of solving complex engineering problems in the field of civil engineering, with strong practice, innovation and entrepreneurship ability, broad international vision, and pursuing outstanding industry elites and pillars of the country.

Starting from grade 2021, the major of civil engineering is included in the enrollment of engineering energy. In the first year, students study in the undergraduate college and study relevant courses of civil engineering from the second year. In addition to offering traditional courses in construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, road and bridge engineering, this major also adds courses in intelligent construction, health monitoring and prefabricated construction in combination with industry development and social needs; At the same time, in order to meet the international needs of the "the Belt and Road", most professional basic courses and professional courses are offered in English in parallel. Students can choose professional elective courses according to their personalized development.

Urban Underground Space Engineering

       The major in Urban Underground Space Engineering of Chongqing University is a specially established one for admission, which was approved by the Ministry of Education in 2017. It was built on the basis of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and other advantageous disciplines of Chongqing University. Since its inception, it has been highly valued by leaders at all levels of the university, with a high starting point for construction and strong support for the allocation of teaching resources.

       The history of the Urban Underground Space Engineering of Chongqing University dates back to the 1970s. The former Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering opened the major of Underground Construction Engineering as early as 1972, 1973, and 1975. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the talent training in the development and utilization of underground space adopted a multi-professional and interval enrollment way, according to the talent demand and planning system model at that time, mainly focusing on Underground Engineering, Exploration Technology and Engineering. In 1977, 1980, 1982-1987, the major of Underground Engineering was established, and since 1989, it has been merged into the major of Geotechnical Engineering. In 2017, the enrollment in the major of Urban Underground Space Engineering was resumed.

       The major of Urban Underground Space Engineering aims to cultivate “high-quality, innovative and composite” elite talents in the field of urban underground space engineering. On the basis of cultivating students with solid basic theoretical knowledge and extensive professional knowledge, it reflects the characteristics of underground engineering in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, highlights the ability of innovation and practice, and cultivates composite talents with basic knowledge of various types of engineering.

        Starting from the class of 2021, the major of Urban Underground Space Engineering has been included in the enrollment of ‘Engineering Energy’ category. The first-year students study in the Undergraduate School. The second-year to fourth-year students will be transferred back to the School of Civil Engineering for training according to the professional training program.

Intelligent Construction

      The intelligent construction major is a "new engineering" major officially approved by the Ministry of Education of China in 2018. It is proposed to the background of the deep integration of information technology and engineering construction. As a new engineering major developed by integrating modern information technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things，it has typical interdisciplinary characteristics. The major takes engineering data flow and information flow of construction engineering as the core, integrates information technology into the whole life cycle of engineering and the whole chain activities of construction. Its application field involves building modules and intelligent integrated design, intelligent construction technology, intelligent facilities and disaster prevention, intelligent operation and maintenance，engineering  construction information and big data  management, and so on.

       The intelligent construction major has strong academic support, mainly relying on the two most advantageous majors at the School of Civil Engineering and the School of Management Science and Real Estate．
