Founded in June 2018 and based on the merger of the original Engineering Department and Information Department, the School of Technology now offers five full-time undergraduate programs, including civil engineering, engineering management, engineering cost, information management and information system, and e-commerce, establishing a relatively complete training system for undergraduates majoring in civil engineering and computer information. It currently has 2,623 enrolled undergraduates.

The School boasts a strong faculty. The full-time faculty is comprised of 8 professors, 24 associate professors (including senior engineers) and 26 lecturers (including engineers). Among the faculty, 7 are with doctor’s degree, and 43 with master’s degree.
