    Basing itself on the construction industry, meeting the social needs, serving the basic units, according to the needs of the job market, the Institute aims at fostering the students’ practical abilities by combining teaching, scientific research with production, and has explored and set up a special personnel cultivation mode—“ Depending on the industry, combining teaching with practice.” And the courses are scientifically set according to the job market demands. Now the Institute has built a harmonious system with 19 specialties, which is based on the specialties in Building Engineering, as well as specialties in information, machinery and electricity, environment, engineering, finance & economics and art-designing, etc.

    The Institute has stable practical training bases and has set up many out-campus training bases with more than 60 enterprises related to relevant specialties, inside and outside the province, especially in PRD, which provide the good conditions for the students to receive practical training at worksites. The project, The Practical Training of Building Technology, has been set as “the provincial higher vocational education practical training base” and “the vocational education training project financed by the central government”.

    The Institute has a team of teachers with higher professional level and rich experience with double qualifications. There are more than 200 full-time teachers, over 25% of whom have senior titles, more than 25% have master degrees or diplomas and 60% have double qualifications.
