Civil engineering in the school of highway is a science and technology for designing and constructing various infrastructure such as houses, bridges, tunnels, urban underground space etc.

The civil engineering discipline of Chang'an University was established in 1953. It is one of the earliest disciplines of the “211 Project” and “985 Project Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform”, and is also the construction content of "world-class disciplines" and "first-class disciplines in Shaanxi Province". In the early 1980s, geotechnical engineering was one of the earliest disciplines in China to train foreign students in engineering. In 2003, “Structural Engineering” and “Bridge and Tunnel Engineering” received the right to confer doctoral degrees. In 2006, the right to grant a doctoral degree in civil engineering was granted. In 2007, a postdoctoral research station was established.

The civil engineering discipline in the school of highway including four secondary disciplines: Bridge Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Tunnel Engineering, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Engineering.
