The School of Human Settlements and Civil Engineering was established in 2005. Today, it provides undergraduate programs in architecture and smart human settlements, master's programs in architecture, civil engineering, and environmental science and engineering, and a doctoral program in the interconnectedness of earth and human settlements. 

The school has a world-class isotope laboratory with international leading Uranium mass spectrum measurement technology and a domestically-leading stalagmite sample bank. It creates a technical system for survey and evaluation of environmental quality of human settlements, and provides a method for characterization and evaluation of environmental quality of urban human settlements.

The school proposed the theory of differentiation and in situ regulation of a relic preserving environment and developed the first multi field coupling test chamber for relic protection. It also constructed an innovative technology system covering pollution control theory, green production processes, pollution governance and recycling, and environmental remediation, and created a kind of bio-concerted approach suitable for complex service environments. Finally, it researched a new structure for ultra-high voltage transmission towers, explored water sensitivity of yellow earth and how it causes catastrophes and built a precise early warning model for landslides. 

The school has launched multilevel exchanges and collaboration with colleges and experts in countries such as Italy, Singapore, and Norway.
