Program overview
In simple terms, this major teaches you how to build bridges and dig tunnels. You'll study core courses like structural mechanics, geotechnical mechanics, bridge engineering, and tunnel engineering, and you'll also need to understand seismic design and construction management. China is world-class in this field—think the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Tunnel, both globally renowned projects. If you love large-scale structures, aren't afraid of challenges, and want to be part of projects that reshape geography, this major is for you. The curriculum includes plenty of hands-on practice, like simulating forces with software, visiting construction sites, and even participating in real projects. It's ideal for students with a solid foundation in math and physics and strong hands-on skills.
