Water Resources Engineering (0815)

Overview

The Water Resources Engineering program at Beijing University of Technology has a long history, dating back to 2000 when it was merged with the former Huabei Water Conservancy and Hydroelectric University's Beijing Graduate Department. The program has since grown to include five secondary discipline master's degree programs and has been granted the right to confer master's and doctoral degrees in Water Resources Engineering.

Faculty

The program has a strong faculty team, consisting of 22 full-time teachers, including six senior professors and 12 associate professors. The faculty has a high doctoral degree rate of 96%, and 52% of the teachers have overseas study experience. There are also five cross-disciplinary mentors and 13 part-time professors.

Research Areas

The program has four main research areas:

• Engineering Hydrology and Water Resources Utilization
• Water Environment Evaluation and Treatment
• Water Conservancy Structure Safety and Disaster Prevention
• Rock Mechanics and Engineering
