1、Brief introduction of the college
The School of Infrastructure Engineering can be traced back to the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering in Jiangxi Industrial College. It was founded from the subject of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering in National Chung-Cheng University in 1940. Since the department was established in 1958, the first students majoring in Industrial and Civil Architecture were recruited, and the students majoring in Architecture were enrolled in the following year. Some changes such as professional dismount and teacher-student going to the countryside, occurred afterwards, and the whole department moved to Pingxiang, Wuning, Jingdezhen and other places, resulting in great influence of the school’s strength. Until the university resumed enrollment, the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering began to admit students majoring in Water Conservancy and Hydropower in 1970. The major of Industrial and Civil Architecture and the major of Architecture were reestablished in 1972 and 1981, respectively. Then the department established a new major of Water Supply and Drainagein 1987, after the university changed its name to the Jiangxi Industrial University in 1985. In 1993, Jiangxi Industrial University merged with Jiangxi University to form Nanchang University . Afterwards, the Departments of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Water Resources and Electric Power Engineering and the research institute of Engineering Mechanics were set up on the basis of the former Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering,. Since the demand of management after expansion, the university implements the three-levels management system, including university, school and department (institute). Thus, the school of Architectural and Environmental Engineering was established at the historic moment, which was then re-named as the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture in 2003 and the School of Infrastructure Engineering in 2022.
The school has three departments of Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. Nine teaching and research offices were established, including Engineering Structure, Geotechnical and Underground Engineering, Engineering Management, Road and Bridge Engineering, Building Energy Conservation, Hydraulic Engineering, Water Resources and Water Information, Remote Sensing and Mapping, Engineering mechanics. The School offers 4 undergraduate programs, including Civil Engineering, Building Environment and Energy Application, Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Engineering Mechanics. Wherein, the undergraduate program of Civil Engineering is the brand and characteristic major of Jiangxi Province, which has passed the professional assessment certification of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rura Development and in which the road and bridge direction is listed as a national Excellence Engineer Program. The school has a postdoctoral scientific research station and 2 first-level subjects with doctor’s degree authorization in Mechanics and Hydraulic Engineering, 3 first-level subjects with master’s degree authorization in Mechanics, Civil Engineering and Hydraulic Engineering, 1 master’s professional degree authorization in Civil and Hydraulic Engineering.
The school has 5 experimental centers for Civil Engineering, Building Environment and Energy Conservation, Engineering Design, Water Conservancy and Engineering Mechanics, in which Engineering Mechanics Experimental Center is the National Demonstration Center for Experimental Education and National virtual simulation Experimental Education Center for Mechanics and Engineering, Water Conservancy Experimental Center is Provincial Demonstration Center for experimental education. There are 14 provincial and ministerial scientific research platforms, including Key Laboratory of Jiangxi Province for Tailings Reservoir Engineering Safety, Key Laboratory of Jiangxi Province for Ultra-low Energy Buildings, Laboratory of Jiangxi Province for Nearlyzero-energybuildings Engineering, Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for Poyang Lake Environment and Resource Utilization.
The college currently has 144 homo sapiens faculty and staff members, including 122 homo sapiens full-time teachers. Among them, there are 26 homo sapiens with senior professional titles, 50 homo sapiens with associate senior professional titles, and 93 homo sapiens holding doctoral degrees. The faculty includes42 homo sapiens doctoral supervisors and 88 homo sapiens master's supervisors. Among the full-time teachers, there is Academician Zhou Chuangbing of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 2 homo sapiens national-level talents, 6 homo sapiens national-level young talents, and 17 homo sapiens provincial and ministerial-level talents. The college also has 4 high-level teaching teams in Jiangxi Province, and over 20 homo sapiens registered first-class broussonetia papyrifera engineers, registered geotechnical engineers, registered supervision engineers, registered cost engineers, and registered construction engineers
