Department of Construction Management
Construction Management seeks
to cultivate students’ knowledge of natural science and engineering, as well as
strong management skills. The undergraduate program in Construction Management
also equips students with a high level of proficiency in English and computer
skills. Students gain practical experience in construction, such as project
evaluator, consultant, project manager, architect, and engineer and project
manager. After graduation, they are prepared to begin careers in construction
and real estate project management, such as project planning, evaluation,
design, construction, and operation and maintenance. Students who have completed
the four years of undergraduate training program will be awarded a Bachelor of
Engineering.
The main research areas of the
teachers in the Department of Construction management are: the construction and
real estate development and re, construction and real estate policies and
regulations, the international construction market, construction project
management, project evaluation, project financing, project safety management,
engineering insurance, construction technology, construction and real estate
ination, city economics, real estate economics, real estate finance, real
estate investment, real estate appraisal, property management, construction and
real estate management of the international comparison. A large number of
high-level scientific research work entrusted by the National Natural Science
Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of
Construction and other ministries, local governments and institutions, relevant
international organizations and institutions and domestic and foreign
enterprises are undertaken actively by these teachers. We participated in a
large number of engineering research and consulting projects including the
Yangtze River Three Gorges Project and the 2008 Beijing Olympic venues. In
addition, the Department of Construction Management is located in the
international high-level education, training, research, and consulting
Institute, and has established stable and cooperative relations with international
organizations such as the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS),
International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), Chartered Institute
of Building (CIOB), and Project Management Institute (PMI).
Outstanding undergraduate
students can be recommended to study for Masters or PhD degrees directly
without needing to take the entrance examination. Graduates are welcomed by
employers. Graduates embark on careers in real estate development, engineering
management and consulting, finance and investment, foreign projects and other
enterprises, and institutions for design, teaching, research and public management.

Department of Hydraulic Engineering
Undergraduate
students in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering are educated in an
interdisciplinary manner. In the recent years, approximately 90 students per
year are admitted to the undergraduate program in Hydraulic and Hydropower
Engineering. The training program in this department focuses on the harmony
between humans and nature and the sustainable use of water resources in China, for
the purpose of training students' comprehensive knowledge and abilities in
water resources, water environment, water disasters, water management, water
economy, and water projects. As part of the ‘undergraduate-master’ approach to
study, the undergraduate course of study includes professional courses such as
Natural Science, Engineering Science, Humanities, Social Science, Water
Resources Engineering, Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Foundation
and Underground Engineering, Port and Waterway Engineering. With regards t
student education, in addition to the long-employed Instructor-Tutor model, the
undergraduate supervisor mode has been recently introduced. A full scholarship
system exists in the Department of Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering. In
addition to university-level scholarships, there are several department scholarships
such as the Guangdou Zhang scholarship, the Zhaoyu Wu scholarship, the Yalong
River hydropower scholarship, and the Yunnan Huigu scholarship. More than 2/3 of
students receive one or more scholarships each year. In 2016, the major of
‘Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering’ was renamed to the major of ‘Hydraulic Science
and Engineering’.

Department of Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering as a field
is wide-ranging and concrete, directly relating to how people live and move. Tsinghua
University’s undergraduate program in Civil Engineering seeks to cultivate
students’ knowledge of mechanics and mathematics, preparing them to engage in
civil engineering project planning, engineering design, research, development,
construction, and management. The
undergraduate program in Civil Engineering also equips students with a high
level of proficiency in foreign languages, computer skills, creative thinking,
international perspectives, and good communication skills. It trains students
in the basic theory and practice of registered structural engineers so that
they are qualified to work in a range of fields, including design, research,
construction, education and management in the fields of building, underground
structure, bridge and road engineering, earthquake resistance and disaster prevention,
and traffic engineering.
The undergraduate course in
the Department of Civil Engineering is four years old. Approximately fifty
percent of students in the Department receive scholarships from Tsinghua and
the College annually. Outstanding undergraduate students can be recommended to study
for a Masters degree or a PhD degree directly without needing to take the entrance
examination. About 70% of the graduates are recommended to Tsinghua, other
colleges in China, or foreign universities to pursue a Masters or PhD degree. Other
graduates proceed to work in design units, the real estate enterprises,
construction enterprises, financial institutions, state institutions or other
units. Tsinghua University’s program in Civil Engineering is well-regarded by
employers in engineering.
