In one hundred years of endless music, the College of Civil Engineering has continuously transported tens of thousands of young people to the main battlefield of construction in the motherland; in a century of good governance, it has become a banner of Tongji University’s educational achievement and a business card of quality and competence.

On the Chinese land where thousands of mansions stand, where green waves flow, where rainbows cross the sky, and where subways lie in the ground forming a dense spider web, the College of Civil Engineering bears a deep imprint everywhere that its skilled graduates work. Moreover, it has built the world's largest dome building, the first cross-sea bridge, the first highway, the first high-speed railway and countless other "firsts”. It also has strong scientific and technological supports.

In November 2014, the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University ushered in its 100th anniversary. The College of Civil Engineering and the School of Transportation Engineering celebrated their 100th birthdays together because they share the same root.

At this moment, standing at the intersection of the past and the future, students of the College of Civil Engineering and the School of Transportation Engineering are looking beyond their history and the glorious annals of the past to a new era. In setting new goals and knowing that their work will benefit the whole world, we should think about the question of how can we show the world our brilliance in the next one hundred years?

"We are celebrating the centennial of the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University. However, we have a great desire to build on the strong foundation of our wonderful heritage and fine traditions with sustainable innovation and development through the next one hundred years. The common aspiration of GU Xianglin and LU Jian, deans of the College of Civil Engineering and the School of Transportation Engineering, reveals their confidence and determination of the Century Ship of "Tongji Civil", which is full of pride and dreams and which keeps full sail as it leads the fleet of Chinese civil engineering’s march to the world.
