Professional English for Smart Water Conservancy is a cornerstone course for the Smart Water Conservancy major. Rooted in the high-quality development of the water sector in the new era, it accelerates the deep convergence of modern information technology with hydraulic science to meet the urgent demand for interdisciplinary, high-caliber professionals driven by the rapid expansion of smart-water industries and the construction of intelligent water systems.
Centered on the mission of “telling China’s smart-water story in the global language,” the course serves the cultivation of international talent, equipping students with a worldwide vision and the ability to communicate across cultures on smart-water topics. Learners will master essential English vocabulary and phrases—hydroinformatics, big data, intelligent monitoring, smart construction, digital twins, smart water utilities, smart irrigation—and summarize the structure of scientific papers along with reading and writing strategies, while refining translation skills for smart-water corpora.
Through practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing grounded in real smart-water contexts, students develop macro–micro–critical–innovative thinking and learn to analyze, reshape and transfer knowledge with mind maps, knowledge graphs and AI generators. The outcome is cross-cultural communication competence within an international perspective, plus autonomous and lifelong learning capabilities.
