Features: This textbook adopts a writing style of "Basic Module + Different Professional Modules." The entire book is divided into two main parts, with the core part consisting of seven modules: Basic, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Road and Bridge Engineering, Hydraulic and Marine Engineering, Municipal Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. It covers almost all professional content in civil engineering and architecture. Additionally, each module is structured into different Units. , the third, fifth, and seventh chapters contain only textbook content; while the second, fourth, and sixth chapters include both textbook content and reading materials. The Text articles are non-scientific articles that reflect professional English characteristics, whereas the reading materials are selected for their interest and scientific nature. Each article provides corresponding professional vocabulary annotations in a side table. Furthermore, the Text articles include analyses and annotations of difficult sentences, along with a moderate number of exercises related to the textbook content to reinforce learning.
Additionally, this textbook emphasizes cultivating students' practical application skills. Therefore, in addition to the traditional writing style, carefully selected content on science and technology English reading and writing skills training is included at the end of each module to develop students' practical abilities. The latter part of the textbook is the Teaching Guide, which provides full translations of the Text articles and answers to some of the exercises.
