Characteristics

This program combines the knowledge systems of management and engineering, making it an interdisciplinary and composite major at Nanning University. The development of the program is based on the development orientation of Guangxi outlined by the government, aiming to cultivate versatile talents urgently needed in Guangxi. The curriculum is centered around core subjects such as engineering cost, construction engineering, engineering measurement and pricing, engineering auditing, intermediate financial accounting, auditing, and construction project auditing. The program takes into consideration the needs of industries and sectors. The curriculum and teaching content emphasizes practical application and skill development. It aims to cultivate comprehensive abilities in both mastering engineering settlement and final accounting knowledge and applying learned knowledge in engineering auditing. The program strives to achieve seamless integration between graduation and employment.

The distinctive feature of this program lies in its focus on auditing, using budgeting, settlement, and financial finalization of construction projects as the main framework. It deeply analyzes the cost, project management throughout the process, and financial finalization data of construction project carriers, enabling students to master the skills required for engineering auditing positions. In the graduation thesis of engineering auditing, students choose audit methods as the topic and write a thesis that revolves around specific elements such as construction project auditing, construction process auditing, completion settlement auditing, and financial finalization. This showcases the program's objective of cultivating high-quality applied talents with a strong composite skill set in the field of engineering auditing.

Teaching Staff

The Engineering Audit program has 12 full-time faculty members, including 1 professor, 3 associate professors, and 8 lecturers and other mid-level faculty members. They are primarily responsible for teaching accounting, auditing, construction project auditing, auditing case studies, and computer auditing. In addition, there are 3 associate professors and 5 lecturers from the Faculty of Civil and Architectural Engineering who are responsible for teaching cost-related courses and civil engineering courses in the Engineering Audit program. 60% of the full-time faculty members and civil cost-related teachers have practical experience working in the industry, which enriches their teaching experience and provides them with a wealth of practical knowledge.

Academic Competitions

The emphasis of this program is placed on cultivating students' subject foundation and innovative abilities. In the past two years, students have achieved third prize and second prize respectively in the "Fusite" National Auditing Elite Challenge.
