Faculty of Civil Engineering and Mechanics of Jiangsu University was established in 2011. The faculty consists of the department of civil engineering, department of mechanics & engineering science and department of construction management. It owns the mechanics postdoctoral research station which was founded in 2012. It was qualified as the first-level discipline to confer Ph.D. degree in mechanics and master degree in mechanics and civil engineering. It was also authorized to offer professional-oriented master program in construction and civil engineering. The faculty warmly welcomes overseas students (both undergraduates and postgraduates) to study in the above majors.

The faculty has 102 teaching and administrative staff members, among whom there are 17 Ph.D. supervisors, 60 professors and associate professors and 1 foreign teachers.
