Program Overview

Smart Construction is an emergingengineering discipline derived from the digital and intelligent transformationof the civil engineering and architecture sectors. First introduced in China inlate 2018, our university officially launched this program in September 2022,making it one of the earliest established programs in Guangdong Province andthe Greater Bay Area. Leveraging multidisciplinary resources from the School ofCivil Engineering and Transportation, with a core team of young and mid-careerfaculty experts, the program integrates complementary strengths from: School ofArchitecture, School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, School ofAutomation Science and Engineering, School of Software Engineering, Wu XianmingSchool of Intelligent Engineering. The program features collaborativepartnerships with leading industry players including: Guangzhou AirportConstruction Investment Co., Ltd. Architectural Design and Research Instituteof SCUT, China Construction Fourth Engineering Division Corp. Ltd. We alsomaintain strategic alliances with innovative platforms such as the Hong KongSmart Construction R&D Center to pioneer new paradigms in scientificeducation, establishing a benchmark for smart construction talent cultivationin the Greater Bay Area. Graduates of this program will address criticalworkforce shortages in smart construction technologies at both national andregional levels, while driving the transformation of civil engineeringdisciplines through next-generation productivity solutions.

Program Features

1. Implementation ofa dual-track Construction × Intelligence curriculum that combinesfoundational engineering construction with interdisciplinary emergingtechnologies;

2. Collaborative teaching and practical training with leadingenterprises and major smart construction projects in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area;

3. Comprehensive project-based and diversified training supported bymultidisciplinary university resources and high-quality external scientificinnovation platforms.

VI. Second Classroom

The Second Classroom consists of two components:Humanistic Quality Education and Innovation Capability Development.

1. Basic Requirements for HumanisticQuality Education

While completing the credit requirements of theirmajor program, students should appropriately participate in extracurricularhumanistic quality education activities based on their interests, accumulatingno fewer than 5 credits, including: Extracurricular sports courses offered bythe University PE Teaching Team (mandatory for upperclass undergraduates): 1credit (72 contact hours), counted toward Second Classroom humanistic qualityeducation credits. Mental Health Education for University Students: 2 credits,offered in a virtual third semester, counted toward Second Classroom humanisticquality education credits.

2. Basic Requirements for InnovationCapability Development

In addition to fulfilling their major programcredit requirements, students must participate in: National or GuangdongProvincial Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Programs, Student ResearchProgram (SRP), Hundred-Step Ladder Climbing Plan, or Otherextracurricular innovation capability development activities (e.g., academiccompetitions, lectures, etc.) for a specified duration. The accumulated creditsfrom these activities must be no fewer than 4 credits.
