School of Civil Engineering & Mechanics

The School was founded in 1992, comprising of 2 departments: Engineering Mechanics and Civil Architecture & Engineering, an Institute of SJTU Architectural Design, and Shanghai Jian Tong Construction Consulting & Supervision Company. There are over 200 faculties, among them, 3 academicians, 27 professors and associate professors, 50 senior engineers, 4 to 8 researchers at “postdoctoral mobile station”. 800 students are enrolled including 100 under Ph.D. and postgraduate program.

Upon its establishment in 1992, it stresses not only on fundamental education but also practical capability training. The students obtain Bachelor of Engineering upon graduation and are prepared for varieties of job opportunities. Postgraduate program comprises of 3 second-level disciplines: hydromechanics, solid mechanics and general mechanics, which all confers master and Ph.D. degree. In addition, “Postdoctoral Mobile Station” is granted to confer Ph.D. on first-level disciplines of mechanics. The academic programs aim at high-speed hydrodynamics, flow noise and control, computational fluid dynamics, fatigue damage & computational mechanics, intellectual structure & compound material mechanics, multimer system dynamics & control, spacecraft attitude dynamics, non-linear dynamics, theory and application of vibration & vibration control, etc. Notably, there are renowned professors such as academicians He Yousheng, Dong Shiling, professors and advisors for Ph.D. Liu Yanzhu, Kuang Zhenbang, Liu Zhengxing, Hong Jiazhen, and Lu Chuanjin.

The department was recovered in 1985. At present it offers 2 specialties: Architecture and Architectural Engineering. Its goal is to foster “export-oriented” students with solid foundation and wide range of knowledge. Therefore the students are particularly intensified on the capabilities of foreign languages, computer applications and management. The students are conferred the Bachelor of Engineering upon graduation. The schooling of Architecture lasts 5 years. One third of the first fall due of 1998 were admitted to postgraduate program. Besides, Two second-level disciplines are charted to grant master degree: Structural Engineering and Rock and Soil Engineering.
Relevant researches focus on intellectual structure, steel structure, security and endurance of structure, interaction of base and upside structure, rock and soil engineering. Among the faculty members, academician Ge Xiurun, Professor Liu Xila, Huang Jinzhi and Kou Xinjian are well known.
