Civil and Environmental Engineering

Introduction and Scope

Civil and Environmental Engineering is a system of technology to construct and maintain infrastructure facilities for safe and comfortable human life. It is, in the concrete, a comprehensive technology for construction of dams, waterworks, sewage works, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, ports and airports, for planning of urban areas and regional development, and for mitigating natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes and tsunami. The objectives of the course are to provides a better understanding of the technology and to equip students for work in many fields of infrastructure construction.

Structure of the Course

The subjects in the course are categorized into five fields, namely: fundamentals of civil engineering, infrastructure planning, structural engineering, hydraulic engineering and geotechnical engineering. They include lectures, exercises, experiments and practices. During the first and second years, students study the fundamentals of civil and environmental engineering. In the third and fourth years, students select one of two fields; construction managemant course or design oriented course. In addition, individual project studies are designed in the fourth year to give students experience in research methods, report writing and presentation. Each student selects an appropriate subject in consultation with his/her professors. The final report and presentation on this work are examined by the professors of the Department. The Department offers a graduate program for students who want further studies, namely: master's and doctor's course.

Graduate Program

Master Program(Civil Engineering) The master's degree program consists of a general curriculum of prescribed research areas. Students must study individually under the direction of a professor and present some research works at the technical conferences. Generally, two years are required to complete the master's degree program. On successful completion of a master's thesis and required examinations, a student is granted a degree of Master of Engineering.
