Civil Engineering

On the basis of the original structural engineering, the first-level discipline of civil engineering of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has gradually formed a first-level civil engineering discipline that combines the characteristics of the school's ship and ocean engineering, and has formed the following five distinctive research directions:

(1) marine concrete structures and their durability;

(2) Structural seismic resistance and vibration damping;

(3) Steel structure collision damage and prestressed steel structure;

(4) Geotechnical engineering disaster prevention and safety;

(5) HVAC and building energy saving.

He has completed a number of horizontal scientific research projects such as "Bridge Monitoring Design and Development Research of Wuxi West Bridge Section of Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway", which closely combines the characteristics of the shipbuilding industry and major engineering and technical problems in local infrastructure construction of our university, and has successively carried out "Performance deterioration mechanism and engineering countermeasures of marine structures under the coupling of wave load and chloride ion erosion", "Research on the performance degradation mechanism and engineering countermeasures of asphalt pavement under the coupling of low-speed load and environmental factors";

Relying on the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology of Shipbuilding, research on seismic response of complex sites, seismic isolation, seismic isolation and impact resistance of engineering structures, seismic measures and monitoring measures of engineering structures, and corrosion resistance of concrete structures have been carried out. According to the needs of dock slipway, port terminal construction and local infrastructure construction, actively carry out research in the directions of "early warning and control of geotechnical geological disasters", "seismic liquefaction safety of near-coastal geostructures", "bearing capacity characteristics of existing buildings" and "theory and technology of geotechnical support and reinforcement". The basic and applied research of marine high-temperature air conditioning system and vibration mode analysis of ship refrigeration unit has been carried out, and the research in the field of ship refrigeration and air conditioning is at the leading level in China. The basic theory and application research of renewable energy utilization, healthy and efficient new air conditioning system, heat and humidity independent treatment air conditioning system, etc. have been carried out, and the first comprehensive experimental bench of solution dehumidification and radiant cooling (heating) air conditioning system in China has been built, and the research results have been applied in Jiangsu Province green building and renewable energy demonstration projects.

History

Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is located in Zhenjiang City, the famous historical and cultural city enjoying beautiful landscape at the south bank of Changjiang Rive, dates back to year 1933 when it was known as Shanghai Dagong Private Vocational School, originally established at the bank of Huangpu River. JUST was successively renamed several times in history, namely Shanghai Mechatronics Industrial School, Shanghai Shipbuilding Industrial School, Zhenjiang Shipbuilding Technical School (moved to Zhenjiang in 1970), in 1978 the school upgraded to be Zhenjiang Shipbuilding College and renamed Eastern China Shipbuilding Institute in 1993. With the merging of Jiangsu Jianghai Trade School in 1999 and Silkworm Industry Institute of CAAS in 2000, it’s then given the current name of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology in 2004. In December 2006, JUST passed undergraduate education evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education with excellent scores. 

Colleges and Majors
JUST currently comprises 13 colleges, 48 undergraduate majors and orientations, one doctor's degree authorization center, 27 master's degree authorization centers, 8 engineering masters training fields, one agriculture promotion master’s degree training field, one state-level characteristic major, one key major constructed by National Defense Science and Industry Committee, one major of provincial brand, one major to be constructed as provincial brand, three provincial characteristic majors, two majors to be constructed as provincial characteristic, one National Key Discipline Construction Spot of Jiangsu Province, five provincial key disciplinary areas, three provincial or ministerial key labs, one provincial public technology service platform, 27 teaching labs (centers), two provincial experimental teaching demonstration centers, as well as three spots to be constructed as provincial experimental teaching demonstration centers.

Students & Teaching Staffs
JUST recruits students from 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across the country as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. At present, JUST has over 20,000 students, of whom are 1700 post graduates (incl. those of specialized degree) and 18000 undergraduates. The PLA has set up an office in JUST for reserve officer selection and training, and presently JUST has over 500 national defense students. At present, JUST has total 1800 teaching staff members including over 1000 full-time teachers, above 100 professors and more than 300 associate professors.　

Accommodation (not including water and electricity bills): 6,000 CNY per academic year.
