Why we choose engineering management

  • Boasting substantial potential for expansion: The Engineering management is experiencing robust growth both domestically and internationally. Domestically, driven by the “New Infrastructure” initiative and the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals”, smart city, green buildings, and new energy projects continue to generate demand, fueling a surge in the need for multidisciplinary engineering management professionals. Internationally, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement deepens engineering collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region, while annual investments in Belt and Road infrastructure projects reach record highs. This requires practitioners to possess both proficiency in international engineering standards (such as FIDIC clauses) and cross-cultural management experience. Simultaneously,In the surge of digital transformation , technologies like smart construction and digital twin are reshaping the industry ecosystem. Managers with dual expertise in “engineering + data” will lead the sector's development over the next decade.
  • With distinctive professional characteristics:the Engineering Management program adheres to the educational philosophy of "integrating technology and management, serving engineering and society." It emphasizes a "full-lifecycle, interdisciplinary, and innovative" training approach. Grounded in the demands of engineering practice, the program establishes a three-dimensional curriculum system encompassing "engineering technology, economic management, and global perspective." It strengthens students' core competencies in project planning, cost control, risk prediction, cross-cultural communication, and multi-party coordination. The program aims to cultivate a new generation of engineering management professionals who are not only proficient in technology and skilled in management but also socially responsible.
  • Strong Faculty Expertise: The Engineering Management program boasts a robust faculty team. Over 93% of the faculty members hold a master's degree or higher, and nearly half hold senior professional titles such as Associate Professor or Senior Engineer. The faculty possesses extensive practical experience, with approximately 75% holding relevant domestic or international professional qualifications. These include Certified First-Class Constructor, Certified First-Class Architect, Certified Supervision Engineer, Certified Real Estate Appraiser, International Project Management Professional, and Certified First-Class Cost Engineer.
