Department of Architectural Engineering drives innovation in sustainable urban development through academic research and applied technology, integrating smart construction solutions—including AI, big data, and IoT systems—with China's urban regeneration initiatives to digitalize and industrialize traditional construction methods. This interdisciplinary approach is supported by a nationally recognized faculty team, a provincial-level research center, specialized laboratories for intelligent building inspection and prefabrication, and the "Guizhou Craftsman Workshop"—an industry-academia collaboration that trains certified professionals through hands-on, skill-based education.
