Department of Civil Engineering

The department of civil engineering, established in 1989, offers the bachelor of engineering degree in civil engineering (including construction engineering and traffic civil engineering) and engineering management. The department also offers master degree in civil engineering. The civil engineering laboratory of the department, which is sponsored jointly by Jiangsu province and National Ministry of Education, is a cultivation site for experimental demonstration centers of civil engineering in Jiangsu province.

The department has 28 teachers (4 professors, 13 associate professors, 19 supervisors), and more than 450 undergraduate students and 145 postgraduate students. In recent five years, the department has undertaken 42 national, provincial and ministry level projects and other 34 projects from industries. The annual research funding of the department has reached RMB5,000,000. In addition, more than 120 scientific papers have been published on many famous domestic and international journals and 28 invention patents have also been authorized or accepted.

Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science

The history of Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science can be traced back to 1960 when Jiangsu University was founded. Over the past several decades, the department has made large development in many ways such as education cultivation, scientific research, disciplines and laboratory.

At present, the department has 35 full-time teachers, including 10 professors and 13 associate professors. Among our full-time teachers, 58% people have experience abroad learning and doing scientific research. There are one Candidate of the Project host of century innovation talent project of China Ministry of Education , one Candidate of the Project host of  Jiangsu Province for "six top " talent project, one Honor winner of the advanced individual of innovation of Jiangsu province in 2008.

The Department one national center for international research on structural health management of critical components, one ministry level key laboratory-- mechanical structure damage detection & assessment laboratory, a experimental mechanics demonstration center of Jiangsu province, a civil engineering testing technology institute which offers technique services for society, a institute of engineering mechanics. The department offers PhD and master program in mechanics (first-level discipline) which is one of Jiangsu provincial key disciplines. Now, the major research areas of the department are:

1.The theory of mechanic, multi-physical field coupling theory and structure damage/fracture in smart material structure
2.Nonlinear dynamics and control
3. Key problems of mechanics in engineering fields
4. Multiphase flow and complex flow in Engineering

In recent 5 years, the department undertaken over 80 projects which include 2 national high-tech R&D program (863 Program), 1 national defense important pre-research project, 1 international（regional）cooperation and exchanges project, 1 national key project, and other projects supported by NSFC,  the ministry and province. The department has obtained many important research achievements among which 2 were provincial or ministry level advanced science and technology awards, 50  patents were authorized or accepted. Meanwhile, the department had published more than 200 papers which were indexed by EI, SCI, and ISTP.

Department of Construction Management

The Department of Construction Management steams from Teaching and Research Section of Construction Management, which was set up by the Department of Civil Engineering, School of Science in 2007. It has been formally recruited undergraduate students majoring in Construction Management since 2007. The Department of Construction Management was formally set up under the School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics in 2017.

The Department of Construction Management can achieve “coherent mode” talent training about undergraduate, postgraduate, doctor and post-doctor with the support of Civil Engineering and the advantage discipline platform of Management Science and Engineering discipline (Key discipline of Jiangsu Province). Now it owns one undergraduate program: Construction Management, which can recruit professional master of Construction and Civil Engineering program (Construction Management), and recruit academic master of Management Science and Engineering major rely on the School of Management (Engineering Management).

The department now owns 10 high-quality, young and professional teachers, who belong to the "Youth Civilization of Jiangsu University "collective. They have obtained 2 Top Prize, 4 first prize, 3 second prize in the teaching competition of Jiangsu Province, 1first prize, 1 second prize in the teaching competition of Jiangsu University during the past three years. Besides, they obtain 1 First prize and 1 Second prize of the Teaching Achievements of Jiangsu University. They are presiding over 1 key project about postgraduate reform of Jiangsu Province, 1 key project about teaching reform of Jiangsu University. They also mainly participate in the completion of 1 excellent course and 1 provincial key teaching materials.

Construction Management program in Jiangsu University focuses on the demand of construction industry and related industries. Its connotation is in line with Construction Engineering and Management (CEM). Its main teaching line is to train students’ comprehensive ability in finding, analyzing, researching and solving practical problems of construction management. It aims at training high-grade compounded talents with comprehensive knowledge and ability. The Department of Construction Management has made significant achievements in the training of university students’ practical ability, and has obtained 28 awards above Third Prize in some kinds of innovation, venture and practice competitions during the past three years. It held the fourth “Jiangsu Province University Innovation, Venture and Practice Competition of Engineering Management” in 2016. It obtained 1 Top Prize, 2 First Prize, 2 Second Prize, 4 Third Prize, and its comprehensive results ranked first in Jiangsu Province in the competition.
