What Can You Study?

Study in Department of Civil Engineering covers the area of environmental engineering looking at natural environment such as soil, rivers and oceans, as well as the area of structure design such as material engineering and structural mechanics. In other words, civil engineering is an integrated engineering discipline working with nature that requires skills of various professional fields. To foster specialists who can deal with a wide range of engineering fields, we assign students to laboratories from the first year and encourage them to acquire a high degree of professionalism through consistent small-class education. Therefore, students will learn a proactive approach to civil engineering, ethics, humanities and cooperativeness through the personal instruction of professors or seniors in closely supervised settings for four years. As applied subjects, they study the most advanced technology of specific structure and soil such as bridge work, roadwork, dam construction and so on oriented to capital plan, disaster countermeasure, and environmental protection. Furthermore, they feel in touch with how nature cooperates with civilized society through hands-on fields in their graduatory study. Thus we foster excellent individuals who think globally.
