History of CEE

Department Adjustment and Establishment

In 1989, the Faculty of Science and Technology was officially established and launched two programmes, one of which was Civil Engineering. This marked the milestone of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Prof. Vai Pan IU is the first course director and the founder of the Civil Engineering Programme. At that time, Professor IU and a Portuguese lecturer, Dr. Jose Moita, were dedicated to developing and setting up the Civil Engineering Programme. In 1989, the first year of the programme, more than ten students were successfully enrolled. In the early days of the establishment of the programme, there were only these two full-time teachers. The subjects of the Civil Engineering major in the first two academic years were also taught by these two teachers, while other subjects such as chemistry, and mathematics were taught by other teachers from the Faculty of Science and Technology.

Since the Faculty of Science and Technology did not have any civil engineering-related laboratory in its early days, some subjects and experiments in the programme were conducted at the Macau Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LECM), and part-time teachers were hired from LECM to teach the related subjects.

Since 1991, as the first batch of students needed to study subjects in different areas of civil engineering, the teaching team of the civil engineering programme began to expand, including Prof. M.S. SUBRAHMANYAM from geotechnical engineering, Prof. Kai Meng MOK and Prof. Zhishi WANG from hydraulic and environmental engineering and several teachers in the construction management direction.

From 1991 to 1999, the programme directors of the civil engineering programme were Prof. Vai Pan IU (1990-1994) and Prof. M.S. SUBRAHMANYAM (1994-2003). Under their leadership, the Civil Engineering Course has achieved stable enrollment, and continued to establish civil engineering-related laboratories to create conditions and lay the foundation for civil engineering research.

In 2002, the Civil Engineering program was upgraded to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

 

Curriculum Setting and Reform

In 1989, the Bachelor of Science degree program in Civil Engineering was launched and it was the first batch of four-year bachelor’s degree programs in the academic reform of the University of Macau.

In 1993, the first batch of undergraduate students enrolled in the bachelor’s degree program graduated, and a master’s degree program in civil engineering was established in the same year.

On February 28, 1994, according to the government’s decree No. 15/94/M, the university began to admit doctoral students.

 

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has trained a group of local engineers for the Macau SAR government to meet the demand for local engineers. At the same time, it has also cultivated a group of outstanding and competitive academic staff for the university itself, contributing to the training of a new generation of engineers.

 

土木及環境工程系的歷史

學系調整與組成

1989年，科技學院正式成立並開設了兩個科技課程，其一為土木工程課程，土木及環境工程系的里程碑亦由此開展。

姚偉彬教授是土木工程課程的第一任課程主任，更是土木工程課程的創辦人。當時姚偉彬教授聯同一名葡籍講師Jose Moita博士致力開拓及設置土木工程課程，並於課程開展首年，即1989年，成功招收十多名學生。土木工程課程成立初期就只有這兩名全職老師，首兩個學年的土木工程專業的學科亦是由這兩位老師任教，而其他科目例如化學，數學等則由科技學院的其他老師教授。

由於科技學院成立初期並未設有土木工程相關的實驗室，課程中有些科目需要到澳門土木工程實驗室（簡稱LECM）上課並進行實驗，並從LECM聘請兼職老師任教相關科目。

自1991年起，隨著首屆入學的學生需要修讀土木工程內不同範疇的科目，土木工程課程的教學團隊開始擴充，土力工程方向有M.S. SUBRAHMANYAM教授，水力及環境工程方向有莫啟明教授和王志石教授，營建管理方向則前後更換了數名教師。

1991至1999年間，土木工程課程的課程主任為姚偉彬教授（1990-1994），和M.S. SUBRAHMANYAM教授（1994-2003）。土木工程課程在他們的領導下達致收生平穩，並續步建立土木工程相關的實驗室，為土木工程的研究創造條件，打下基石。

2002年，土木工程課程升格為土木及環境工程系。

 

課程設置與改革

1989年推出了土木工程理學士學位課程，並為澳門大學學制改革的第一批四年制的學士學位課程。

1993年首屆入學的學士學位課程學生畢業，土木工程亦於同年設立碩士學位課程。

1994年2月28日跟據政府頒佈第15/94/M號法令，跟隨大學開始招收博士學位研究生。

 

土木及環境工程系為澳門特區政府培養了一批本地工程師，以滿足澳門政府對本土工程師的需求。同時亦為大學本身培養了一班優秀具競爭力的學術人員，為培養新一代的工程師作出貢獻。
