Introduction

Program Features: The Intelligent Construction program is founded on civil engineering and integrates knowledge and technologies from information technology, mechanical engineering, control engineering, architecture, materials engineering, engineering management, and related disciplines. The program covers the full life cycle of buildings and infrastructure, including design, manufacturing, transportation, assembly, operation, and maintenance. It also addresses the growing demand for greener, more sustainable, and smarter built environments. The curriculum focuses on four key areas: intelligent planning and design, intelligent equipment and construction, intelligent facilities and disaster prevention, and intelligent operation, maintenance, and management. Through this interdisciplinary approach, students develop the knowledge and skills needed for intelligent construction.

Program Vision: The program prepares graduates for the future needs of the construction industry, promoting well-rounded development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education. Students build a solid theoretical foundation, broad professional knowledge, strong practical skills, and strong scientific and humanistic literacy. With a solid understanding of the principles and methods of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic information science and engineering, control science and engineering, and engineering management, they also develop interdisciplinary skills in intelligent planning and design, intelligent equipment and construction, and intelligent operation, maintenance, and management of buildings and civil infrastructure. The program prepares well-rounded professionals with a capacity for lifelong learning, innovation, a global perspective, and leadership.
