Yunnan agricultural university college of water conservancy is first set up the unit of water conservancy higher education in yunnan province, its history can be traced back to 1965, the national unified arrangement from east China institute of water conservancy (now), hohai university, wuhan institute of water and electricity (now), wuhan university, Shanghai jiaotong university and other colleges and universities from teachers in yunnan university of agricultural labor, set up the province's first professional irrigation and water conservancy. In May 1966, the Department of Water Conservancy was established with the undergraduate program of Water conservancy and Hydropower Engineering construction. In 1993, the Department of Water Conservancy and the Department of Agricultural Mechanical Engineering were merged to form the College of Engineering and Technology. In 2001, the School of Water Conservancy, Hydropower and Architecture was founded on the basis of the department of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering of the former College of Engineering and Technology. In 2013, it was renamed The College of Hydraulic Engineering, forming a professional college with hydraulic engineering as its core and distinctive characteristics.
The college has 93 faculty members, including 89 full-time teachers, 14 professors and 37 associate professors. There are 2 outstanding teachers of Yunnan Double Thousand Program, 1 provincial industrial technology leader, 1 provincial academic leader of teaching and research, and 4 provincial top-notch young talents. The College has a scientific and technological innovation team of Land Optimal Allocation and Ecological Remediation in southwest Diverse regions of the Ministry of Natural Resources, a graduate tutor team of Yunnan Intelligent Agriculture Soil and Water Engineering, a teaching team of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering in colleges and universities of Yunnan Province, and a scientific and technological innovation team of Restoration and Utilization of Cultivated land production barriers in colleges and universities of Yunnan Province.
The college now consists of four departments: Department of Hydraulic Engineering, Department of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Water Resources and Water Conservation. There are 7 undergraduate majors in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, agricultural water conservancy Engineering, civil engineering, hydrology and Water Resources Engineering, soil and water Conservation and desertification control, land consolidation engineering and water Affairs Engineering. The two majors of water conservancy and hydropower engineering and agricultural water Conservancy Engineering have passed the national Engineering education certification. Agricultural water conservancy Engineering has been selected as the first national first-class major, and water conservancy and hydropower engineering and civil engineering have been selected as the provincial first-class major.
The college has the right to grant master's degree in water conservancy engineering, three master's degrees in agricultural engineering (agricultural soil and Water Engineering, agricultural Hydraulic Engineering and Construction, and Remote sensing of Resources and Environment), and the right to grant professional master's degree in civil water conservancy. The doctoral programs of civil and hydraulic engineering and the first-class discipline of agricultural engineering have been listed by the Education Department of Yunnan Province as the doctor degree authorization centers for provincial project construction. The college has a total enrollment of 2065 students, including 1,965 undergraduates and 100 postgraduates.
Existing three provincial engineering laboratory of the college/technology research center (yunnan agricultural water-saving engineering technology research center, department of natural resources of yunnan mountain basin land use field scientific observation station, yunnan province land resources utilization and protection engineering laboratory) and national agricultural engineering "frontier national regions entrepreneurship training mode innovation experimental area" and "jinning DaChun river suggests Cooperative talent training base ". The college has provincial and ministerial teaching and research platforms, such as the Basic Experimental Teaching Center of Agricultural Engineering in Yunnan Province, Water Resources and Water-saving Irrigation Engineering Center in Yunnan Province, Agricultural Remote Sensing and Precision Agriculture Engineering Research Center in Yunnan Province, and provincial Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Center of Mechanics and Engineering. The college now has innovative talent training platforms such as intelligent water conservancy BIM Engineering Center, Digital Water Conservancy Virtual Simulation Engineering technology Center, digital Twin water Conservancy technology RESEARCH and development Center, Intelligent water Conservancy Equipment Engineering Center and Remote Sensing Application and Digital Environment Center.
As the cradle of water conservancy talents training in Yunnan province, the College has trained nearly 10,000 water conservancy and civil engineering professionals for the country, many of whom have become leaders and technical backbones in the fields of water conservancy, agriculture and architecture in Yunnan Province, playing an irreplaceable role in the historical development of Yunnan water conservancy. In yunnan province to implement hing water embellish dian such as water conservancy development strategy under the background of high quality, ushered in the new historical opportunity for development, school of the future school will continue to uphold the "with water as the mirror, learned good" school motto, carry forward the pragmatic and innovative spirit, constantly improve the level of running and training quality, for national and local economic construction and social development to make greater contribution.
