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.
Urban Convergence Engineering is a field of study that integrates various disciplines to solve urban problems and improve urban environments. This field includes engineering, science, sociology, economics, and more, and comprehensively addresses urban and transportation planning, design, management, and operations. The main goals of Urban Convergence Engineering are sustainable urban development, smart city implementation, and the creation of environmentally friendly cities.
