“Being virtuous and knowledgeable, Being energetic and creative”. Since the establishment of the Mining Department of Beijing Iron and Steel Industry Institute in 1952, the School of Civil and Resource Engineering of Beijing University of Science and Technology has gone through more than 60 years. From generation to generation, the local people uphold the spirit of "hard and sincere", attach importance to educating people, inherit the spirit of " Being knowledgeable and practical". They are down-to-earth and courageous in their work and study and have trained a large number of outstanding scientific and technological talents in the fields of mining engineering, civil engineering, safety management and planning.

The school has distinctive discipline characteristics and abundant teachers. At present, it has 1 first-class discipline (Mining Engineering), 3 national key disciplines (Mining Engineering, Mineral Processing Engineering, Safety Science and Engineering), 2 national characteristic disciplines (Mining Engineering, Safety Engineering) and many other key characteristic disciplines; There are 46 professors, 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, 1 member of the discipline evaluation group of the academic degree committee of the State Council, 2 winners of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. The teachers of the school have undertaken more than 300 projects including the National Science and Technology Support Plan, the "973" Plan, the "863" Plan and the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the annual scientific research funds have reached about 100 million yuan for eight consecutive years.

In recent years, the school has responded to the call for the construction of the new era, actively integrated into the national economic construction, and achieved remarkable achievements in personnel training, discipline construction, innovation and development, and serving the society. The school actively explores and strives for progress in stability, and has cultivated a team of teachers with excellent style of study and rigorous scholarship. At the same time, with the school-running concept of " stabilizing scale, improving quality, seeking characteristics and creating brand" and the educational pattern of "four first-class", the school promotes the dreams of thousands of local students：First-class education concept, which enables students to know the industry and major at a high level; First-class teaching staff, which helps students to preach and guide the direction; First-class practice base, which enables students improve their comprehensive ability in the integration of theory and practice; first-class cooperative innovation and career planning for students to open up horizons, build a dream in the future, integrate into society, go international, and make due contributions to national construction and social development.

Focus on educating people and bring forth talents in large Numbers. With decades of development breakthroughs, the School of Civil and Resource Engineering has gradually developed into one of the departments of USTB with outstanding discipline advantages, reasonable major setting, strong faculty and strong comprehensive strength.

The new era calls for new actions. The School of Civil and Resource Engineering will take Xi Jinping's new era China characteristic socialism as the commanding point, fully grasp the historical opportunity of "the Belt and Road", and carry forward the fine tradition of "practical and innovative" motto and " rigorous academic style, uphold practice ". Based on the construction of key disciplines, with the improvement of scientific research and innovation capacity as the main body, and with the improvement of talent training quality as the core task, the school strives unremittingly to build a first-class research school with distinctive characteristics in China!

I believe that with the joint efforts of all faculty and students, and with the continuous care and support from school leaders, alumni and all sectors of society, the School of Civil and Resource Engineering will usher in a better future!
