At 2 pm on July 5th,2019， Spencer, chief professor of civil engineering at Illinois State University at Urbana-Champaign and a foreign academician of the Polish Academy of Sciences, came to our school for academic exchanges at the invitation of Professor Wang Zifa of the "Excellent Talent" program of our school. The principal Song Chunpeng met with the guests in the meeting room 210 of the school administration building. Mao Liqun, Director of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office, Fang Meng, Director of the Office of the President, Party Secretary Li Shejiao, Dean Yue Jianwei, Deputy Dean Zhang Jianwei, and Professor Wang Zifa of the "Excellent Talents" Program accompanied the meeting.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Professor Spencer gave a titled "Advances in Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure from Research to Engineering Practice" in the lecture hall on the second floor of the Structural Laboratory of the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture. The report meeting was hosted by Dean Yue Jianwei.

Professor Spencer first introduced the general situation of Illinois State University in the United States, as well as the “3+2” international cooperation projects and international summer schools currently carried out by the university. He mentioned that Illinois State University has an excellent tradition of cooperation with our country, and demonstrated to the students Illinois State University at Urbana-Champaign has the latest developments in the fields of transportation, structure, materials, water conservancy, especially civil infrastructure monitoring. Afterwards, Professor Spencer shared with everyone a high-precision wireless smart sensor that can effectively solve synchronous monitoring, and took a cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 344 meters in South Korea-the Golden Road Bridge and a 250-meter-diameter Ferris wheel in Dubai as examples. , Describes the application of the sensor in actual engineering. Subsequently, Professor Spencer introduced the application of computer recognition/vision in concrete structure crack detection, structural damage automatic classification, structural response monitoring, etc., and proposed that the existing UAV can be considered to measure railway bridge displacement under train load. Throughout the report, Spencer's language was humorous and witty and won rounds of applause.
