Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Civil engineering is a basic technology essential for creating comfortable and safe human lives by building up the infrastructure of human civilization while preserving the natural environment. Civil engineering technologies are used to map out the lines of land and city development and, accordingly, to lay out and construct such facilities as roads, railroads, power plants, water supplies, parks, tunnels, bridges and dams without destroying the valuable natural environment.

Architecture is often said to be a receptacle in which human life and culture is developed. It is created as a combined product of art and engineering, and it must at the same time be safe, beautiful and functional. Based on this idea, the department of architecture offers a curriculum consisting of various fundamental subjects which cover the social sciences, humanities and fine arts, and of specialized subjects such as structural engineering, construction engineering and environmental engineering. Hence, students can choose any field which makes the most of their personalities and talents and satisfies their desire to learn.
