Introduction to the Undergraduate Program of Fire Protection Engineering

The Department of Fire Protection Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University was established in 2004, making it the third key university in China to offer this major. The department boasts 15 full-time academic staff members, including 2 professors, 3 associate professors, 1 senior engineer, and 9 lecturers. Currently, there are approximately 320 undergraduate students and 30 graduate students enrolled in the department. The experimental center is equipped with eight specialized laboratories, including the Fire Combustion Laboratory, Fire Prevention Theory and Engineering Laboratory, and Fire Risk Assessment Laboratory, among others. These laboratories have invested over 20 million yuan, with a total area of nearly 2000 square meters, and are equipped with advanced fire measurement and analysis instruments, as well as specialized calculation software for fire and evacuation.

Objectives of the Program

The primary objective of this program is to train professionals in the fire protection field who possess socialist core values, comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic grounding, and a hard-working spirit. Graduates of this program are expected to have solid basic knowledge and professional skills, with a global insight, scientific literacy, and innovative spirit. They should be qualified for various roles, including design and construction, inspection and maintenance of facilities or equipment, consulting and assessment, safety management, education and training, and scientific research in fire protection or associated areas.
