Two. Introduction to the Institute of Disaster Prevention and Technology The Institute of Disaster Prevention and Technology, affiliated to the Seismological Bureau of China, is the only comprehensive full-time general institution of higher learning in China that focuses on higher education in disaster prevention and mitigation with complete disciplines. The college was established in 1975. The college enrolls students nationwide, with more than 8,000 full-time students.
Adhering to the school-running philosophy of "people-oriented, establishing a school with characteristics, strengthening the school with talents and developing harmoniously" and the talent-training idea of "optimizing structure, deepening reform, strengthening characteristics and improving quality", the College has gradually formed a multi-level, multi-type and multi-form modern school-running system with full-time undergraduate education as the main body, postgraduate education, adult education and industrial technology training.
The college serves the needs of national disaster prevention and mitigation development and adheres to connotation development; With discipline construction as the support and specialty construction as the leader, we will constantly optimize the discipline and specialty structure and deepen the reform of talent training mode. There are 30 undergraduate majors, among which the core majors of disaster prevention and reduction are geophysics, geology, resource exploration engineering, groundwater science and engineering, exploration technology and engineering, civil engineering, surveying and mapping engineering, geological engineering, urban underground space engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and public utilities management (emergency management). Disaster prevention and mitigation support majors: engineering management, electrical engineering and automation, measurement and control technology and instruments, computer science and technology, network engineering, information management and information system, communication engineering, geographical science, Internet of Things engineering, data science and big data technology, applied psychology, etc. Major in disaster prevention and reduction: finance, investment, accounting, business administration, Chinese language and literature, advertising, network and new media, English, etc. It covers five disciplines: science, engineering, management, literature and economics.
The College was listed as a pilot unit of professional degree postgraduate training by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, and enrolled postgraduate students. Approved by the Ministry of Education as the work unit of "Excellent Engineer Education and Training Plan"; Approved by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security as "National Continuing Education Base for Professional and Technical Personnel". There are various "quality engineering" projects such as national characteristic construction sites, provincial disaster prevention and mitigation scientific and technological innovation and talent training highlands, provincial key disciplines, provincial key development disciplines, provincial and ministerial key construction laboratories, and international cooperation laboratories. A number of high-level experimental platforms have been built, forming eight characteristic research directions, such as earthquake precursor background field, geotechnical engineering earthquake resistance, urban earthquake prevention and disaster reduction planning, urban earthquake damage prediction, earthquake geological disasters, earthquake observation information processing, earthquake precursor observation instruments, disaster risk and emergency management, and forming a relatively complete scientific research system for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction.
The college's overall strength in serving disaster prevention and mitigation has been continuously strengthened, and it has undertaken more than one technical service and social service project 100, which has achieved good social and public benefits and made positive contributions to disaster prevention and mitigation and economic and social development. The College has deeply participated in the on-site rescue, scientific investigation, disaster loss assessment and investigation of houses damaged in primary and secondary schools in Wenchuan earthquake, Yushu earthquake, Lushan earthquake, Ludian earthquake and Jiuzhaigou earthquake, and made important contributions to earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction. During the Wenchuan earthquake, college experts put forward the National School Safety Project Proposal to the relevant leaders of the central government and the leaders of the Ministry of Education who visited the disaster area, which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and other relevant ministries and commissions. After that, a massive "school safety project" was rolled out all over the country, making it an epoch-making monument.
The college has a dynamic faculty with strong practical ability and scientific research innovation ability (including "Huang Danian-style teachers in national universities" 1 person, and 8 provincial and ministerial teaching teams), and has undertaken many high-level applied R&D projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Social Science Foundation, the National Science and Technology Support Plan and Scientific Research Plan, the "863" Plan, the National Public Welfare Industry Scientific Research Project and the Earthquake Science and Technology Spark Plan, etc., and has made great achievements.
College education and teaching facilities are complete, with modern library, network information center, indoor gymnasium, swimming pool, high-standard sports ground and other facilities. The value of teaching and research instruments and equipment per student reached 32,500 yuan; The library has 870,000 books, 775,000 electronic books and 28 databases, and has established a modern book information system and a complete document guarantee system. The comprehensive coverage of campus network system can effectively guarantee the needs of education and teaching, teachers and students' work, study and life. The college has many experimental centers such as earthquake science, engineering earthquake, civil engineering and information technology. 86 laboratories of various types, with the most advanced and complete earthquake monitoring instruments in domestic universities; There are more than 100 stable off-campus practice teaching bases, including national engineering practice education centers, provincial social practice bases for college students, provincial popular science education bases for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, and provincial experimental teaching demonstration centers.
The college gives full play to the advantages of disciplines and majors, strengthens innovation and entrepreneurship education, and actively cultivates advanced applied talents with solid foundation, wide knowledge, strong ability, high quality and certain research and development ability. In recent years, college students have won more than 500 awards in various disciplines at all levels, including more than 30 national awards/kloc-0; There are more than 200 national college students' innovation and entrepreneurship training programs. The employment rate of undergraduates remains good, and the postgraduate entrance examination rate remains at a high level. As the core base for training basic talents for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in China, the College has trained nearly 40,000 graduates for the earthquake system and society. Graduates are widely recognized by the society with their solid professional foundation, strong practical ability, courage to take responsibility and hard work. Many of them have won scientific and technological progress awards at all levels and the titles of national and provincial model workers. 70% frontline staff of earthquake monitoring system and 80% seismic stations (stations) graduated from junior college. Therefore, the college is known as "Whampoa Military Academy in the earthquake system"
