Department of Civil Engineering

The academic area at the center of social infrastructure engineering is called civil engineering. This is engineering with a very high level of public nature that is closely connected to the lives of people. In the Department of Civil Engineering, students first thoroughly learn about the basic technologies of civil engineering up until the third grade. Thereafter, the Department of Civil Engineering divides into two courses from the fourth grade in order to enhance specialization. The “Construction Design Study Course” develops engineers who have comprehensive abilities in the planning, design, construction, diagnosis, maintenance and management of civil engineering that is the foundation of civic life and regional industry (fisheries industry, agriculture and energy), and the ability to play an active role in the field of developing safe and secure civil engineering. The “Urban Planning Study Course” develops engineers who have knowledge of surveys and analysis relating to the challenges surrounding civic life and social infrastructure development, and the ability to play an active role in the field of creating safe and comfortable spaces and environments by fully utilizing advanced information technologies (e.g. CG/CAD and GIS).

●Objectives

The Department of Civil Engineering aims to train engineers who can create safe and comfortable social environments in harmony with nature through the acquisition of design technologies, planning technologies, construction technologies, maintenance technologies and environmental protection technologies which make full use of information technologies.

●Educational Goals

  1. Engineers with creativity and the ability to get things done
    Engineers who act on an independent and continuous basis with an understanding of their roles and responsibilities as one member of a team.
  2. Engineers with basic knowledge relating to special skills
    Engineers who have basic knowledge on mathematics, natural science and civil engineering (e.g. construction planning and urban design) and who have the ability to utilize this.
  3. Engineers who can utilize information technology
    Engineers who can utilize computers in technologies relating to civil engineering (e.g. planning, design and graduation thesis) by acquiring the basic skills of data processing.
  4. Engineers who can understand and act in compliance with the history and culture of society, as well as engineering ethics
    Engineers who have an understanding of the history, culture, geography, politics and economics of international society, as well as an awareness of the role civil engineering plays and its impact on nature and the next generation, and who are conscious of and act in accordance with their ethics and responsibilities as engineers (e.g. by contributing to the development of local communities).
  5. Engineers with multi-faceted communication skills
    Engineers who can summarize their ideas into logical texts and give presentations on their results, together with the ability to communicate in basic English.
  6. Engineers with the design ability for problem solving
    Engineering who are capable of finding the course of improvement by mobilizing their comprehensive knowledge toward problem solving through their graduation thesis, construction design drafting and creative design, and evaluating tangible results through combining relevant technologies.
