The fourth industrial revolution centered around intelligence is driving the transformation and upgrading of the civil construction industry in the directions of intelligence, greenization and informatization. Meanwhile, the traditional postgraduate cultivation mode adopted by colleges and universities specialized in civil construction, which relies on a single discipline, is no longer able to meet the industry's requirements for compound and diversified talents.Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology has explored and established an interdisciplinary postgraduate training model underpinned by the disciplinary chain cluster of “Architectural Science and Technology”. It has put forward the transformation orientations for postgraduate training, namely “Intelligence Plus, Green Plus, Health Plus, International Plus”, and constructed three categories of postgraduate training platforms, namely “cutting-edge, industrial, and local”. The university has also guided the formation of interdisciplinary supervisor teams and innovated the full-cycle training institutional system for interdisciplinary postgraduate students. Moreover, it has proposed the reform approaches and implementation initiatives for carrying out interdisciplinary postgraduate training in civil engineering universities.
