Brief Introduction

The Major of Hydraulics and Hydropower Engineering offers undergraduate programs which must be completed within four years.

A brief introduction of the major is as follows. The major is a leading as well as characteristic discipline in China. The Major of Hydraulics and Hydropower Engineering is designed to enable the students, upon completion of the B.S. degree program, to enter the profession-for example, to study, design, build and manage the large/medium sized hydraulic projects, water resource utilization program, and urban water engineering. We aim to train the compound talents with excellent humanistic quality, solid professional knowledge, outstanding practice ability, and strong innovation thinking. Graduates with a broad and fundamental technical base will be able to enter the professional hydraulic engineering work force including water conservancy/hydropower, water use/water availability, and urban water engineering. They could also engage in the engineering of energy, civil and transportation, and other fields, such as educational technology, planning/design, development and construction, and technology management. The major offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). A postdoctoral research station is also available here. The core curriculum contains engineering hydrology, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, engineering geology, hydraulic reinforced concrete structure, water resources planning and utilization, hydraulic architecture, hydropower station architecture, and construction of hydraulic engineering.
