College of Hydro Science and Engineering

Water is a necessity of life for human beings. Water resources serve as basis for the surge of national economy. And water conservancy represents the lifeline of the survival of mankind and development of a country. The College of Hydraulic Science and Engineering is the cradle for senior management and technological talents of water conservancy. It is divided into 3 departments of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Agricultural Water Conservancy and Irrigation Engineering, and Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering, and 1 Hydraulic Engineering Experimental Center. The College now has a postdoctoral research center for engineering discipline, a first-level-discipline doctorate deferring program of hydraulic engineering, a first-level-discipline master’s degree deferring program of hydraulic engineering (including such second-level disciplines as hydraulics and river dynamics, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, hydraulic structure, hydrology and water resources, and port, coast and offshore engineering). There are now 63 teachers and administrative staff in the College, including 10 professors, 18 associate professors, 3 senior lab technicians, among whom 37 have a doctorate and 18 master’s degree. Relied on our outstanding faculty and research outcomes for years, we have cultivated a great number of engineering and technological elites for the national economic construction. Over the past 3 years, the College has undertaken over 60 provincial, ministerial and national scientific projects, released more than 100 papers on national publications, and published 17 monographs. In recent years, the enrollment rate of senior students who take part in the postgraduate entrance examination is over 30%, and the employment rate more than 90%.
