There are numbers of construction projects annually in China, owing to the rapid development of the country. Each civil engineering project has various risk factors. Recognizing the risk in advance, estimating the level of the risk factors, taking proper measurements to lower bad impacts and monitoring risk factors during the whole period of the project, are four role steps in risk management, which prevent projects from internal or external interference. The article compares the course of risk estimation and management in Tongji University, with courses related to risk management in other six universities, including Imperial College, UC Berkeley, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Kyoto University and Tsinghua University. The author analyzes the arrangements, contents, teaching methods and assessments of these curriculums, and proposes a teaching reformation scheme for Tongji University.
