School of Civil Engineering offers four undergraduate programs including Civil Engineering, Urban and Rural Planning and Project Cost, Urban and Rural Planning and Project Cost (distinctive majors), among which Civil Engineering is the head program in WHUT. At present, there are more than 1300 students in our school. The school has a strong faculty team of 58 full-time teachers, including 7 professors, 23 associate professors and 4 senior engineers. The entire teacher have obtained their master degree, most of which graduated from domestic key universities.
Our school boasts of 5 laboratories of Mechanics, Architectural Structure, Civil Engineering Materials, Soil Mechanics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, and 5 practical training rooms for Building Model Making, Engineering Measurement, Project Management Sand Table Simulation, Civil Engineering Simulation and BIM center. It has cooperated with more than 20 enterprises to establish an off-campus internship and training base, such as China Second National Nuclear Company, Wuhan south China Construction Co. LTD., and the Second Aviation Bureau of China communications co. LTD., and jointly opened directional training classes with Hubei Sentai Construction Group and Wuhan Tianchangle Co. LTD., aiming at comprehensively cultivating students' practical application ability.
The School attaches great importance to cultivate students’ scientific and technological innovation ability. Our students have won many prizes in competitions at provincial and national levels, such as High Education Cup of National Graphics Contest, Hubei Structure Design Contest”, among of which 9 first prizes, 30 second prizes, 13 third prizes and 15 patents have been awarded in recent years.
In recent years, our graduates are widely accepted in society. The employment rate g keeps over 90% in continuous 4 years and the postgraduate enrollment rate is over 13%. In 2016 , our school signed an agreement on joint training and source base for postgraduates with Hubei University of Technology, creating favorable conditions for their further studies .
