一、Introduction to professional field

JiangnanUniversitygained the right of master’s degree conferring in construction andcivilengineeringin year 2014 to enroll professional postgraduate student. There are fourindependentand commondisciplinary directions, including geoenvironmental engineering, structural engineering, engineering construction and management and low carbon energy. The geoenvironmental engineeringis the newdisciplineclosely combininggeotechnicsand environmental science which mainly uses geotechnics theories, methods and technology to treat and protect the environment. The structural engineering mainly relates tostructuralperformance monitoring and control, research onstructural seismic behaviorofstructuralreinforcement and reconstruction. The engineering construction and management mainly relates to construction technology of civil engineering, construction process control, risk and safety management of engineering project and contract management of the engineering contract. The low carbon energy mainly relates to research on related policies of energy-saving of buildings and green buildings, research and application on construction energy saving and improvement technology, R&D and promotion of low carbon technology.

二、Educational objectives

The construction and civil engineering is theimportantengineering field in infrastructure construction, it is a subject that research and create theecological conditionand all kinds of engineering facilities needed by the society. This subject is related with survey, design, construction andmaintenanceof industrial and civil building and its environment and equipment.The education target ofprofessional postgraduate student of environmental field of construction and civil engineering: to educate senior engineering technical personnel with solid and systematic basic theory and professionalknowledgeof construction and civil engineering andenvironmental geotechnics, etc.; knowing the advance in the relevant subjects, with strongscientificresearch ability, use advanced technology and method to solve survey, design, construction and maintenanceproblems, etc. of the engineering fields, with the ability to grasp and use a foreign language,andwiththeability to undertake technical or management work of related engineering field.
