  This new specialty is a cross combination of civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, earthquake engineering, environmental engineering, information engineering and science of the earth. It has very important meanings for our human society in realizing sustainable development. The specialty was built with a characteristic integration of theory with practice. It participates actively in solving actual national and regional engineering problems while lunching basic researches.

  I. Training Objectives
  Graduate master degree candidates should have solid basic knowledge of disaster prevention and reduction engineering, and know quite well about the research results and the developing direction of various respects of the specialty. They have the ability of making specialized research and solving practical problems independently, and can consult the specialized books and periodicals of this specialty in foreign language as well as write the thesis summary.

  II. Main Research Directions
  1. Seismic resistance and reduction in civil engineering
  2. Engineering geological disaster and its prevention
  3. Engineering structure testing and reinforce technology of disaster prevention.
  4. Soil dynamics and improvement
  5. Integrated disaster prevention of city and coast

  III. Length of Schooling and Credits
  The full-time master degree candidates’ length of schooling is 2. 5 years. The total credits must get requested 32 credits at least; among them the credits of degree lessons must get requested 19 and all the required engineering or social practice should be finished. Semi-sabbatical master degree candidates’ period of schooling can be prolonged for another half a year or one year as approved.
