The goal of the Civil & Environmental Engineering Major is to cultivate expert civil and environmental engineers by utilizing the research infrastructure and world-class faculty, who are capable of conducting global research to pioneer the advanced and environmental technologies which are necessary for the future development of land and cities as well as converging and integrating those technologies in order to resolve land and urban issues. This major provides more advanced curricula through its concentrations: Environmental and Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical & Geo-Space Engineering, and Urban Convergence Engineering.
Environmental and Water Resources Engineering offers specialized courses in various areas of environmental engineering and water resources, including advanced wastewater treatment, advanced drinking water treatment, waste treatment and recycling, groundwater and soil restoration, and watershed environmental management. The program combines lectures on basic theories with practical field learning through the operation of pilot plants designed for research purposes.
Geotechnical & Geo-Space Engineering is a field of study that investigates the mechanical behavior characteristics of the ground through large-scale foundation research and studies various theories necessary for the engineering application of the ground. Based on this, the field develops technologies to maximize the use of limited land, and further explores geotechnical engineering technologies under extreme conditions such as earthquakes and permafrost, as well as in future space environments like the Moon and Mars.
