National Demonstration Center for Experimental Civil Engineering Education
Demonstration center for experimental civil engineering education of Ningbo University was founded in June 2002. In the developing period of 13 years, it was successfully approved as Zhejiang provincial demonstration center for experimental civil engineering education, “12th Five-Year” provincial key demonstration center for experimental education and one of the first national experimental center for virtual simulation education. In 2016, it was selected as national demonstration center for experimental education.
The center is composed of the structural lab, building material lab, road & bridge lab, fluid mechanics lab, CAD lab, civil engineering lab, engineering survey lab, lab of fire resistance and disaster reduction, lab of construction and management. It has formed as an experimental center for civil engineering education that of basis, specialty and comprehensiveness.
The center has a total area of nearly 2,300 square meters with the value of equipment assets that are more than 30 million Yuan. It is equipped with a series of large testing equipment and platform like large MTS electro-hydraulic servo testing system, virtual simulation experimental teaching platform, multi-functional fire testing system and other more 1,800 units (sets) of experimental teaching instrument, which can better meet the needs of civil engineering in practice teaching and innovative talents cultivation.
