Ⅰ FeaturesⅡ History and ProfileⅢ RequirementsMajor Math CSCE ME CE MinorCONTENTSCivil and Environmental Engineering will be taught in English. Covering the fundamentals of civil engineering including structural engineering, hydraulic engineering, geotechnical engineering and transportation engineering, this major will explore themes such as environmental approaches to construction, safety in human society, and environmental preservation from an engineering perspective. Civil and Environmental Engineering plays a critical role in applying engineering ethics, in contributing to the sustainable development of the social infrastructure required for humans to lead safe and culturally-enriched lives, and in implementing policies designed to enable humans to live in harmony with the natural environment.Civil and Environmental Engineering consists of courses in social infrastructure construction, environment and disaster-prevention, and planning and management. In social infrastructure, students will focus on the skills necessary for constructing social infrastructure facilities and utilizing, monitoring, and maintaining said facilities. Examples of such facilities include transportation facilities (such as road and rail networks, marine ports, and airports), urban facilities (such as waterworks and sewage lines), energy plants (such as power plants and oil stockpiling bases), and disaster-prevention facilities, which protect people from the effects of natural disasters. The construction materials used in this major will primarily comprise steel, concrete, and new materials.In environment and disaster-prevention, students will focus on environment and disaster-prevention in the hydrosphere, geosphere and atmosphere. In terms of the hydrosphere, students will explore water issues in urban river systems and urban flooding, issues in aqueous environments (such as eutrophication in the hydrosphere and how to reverse its effects), and other issues such as tsunami and storm surge damage in coastal areas (such as shores and inlets), as well as the utilization of coastal zones. In terms of the geosphere, students will explore advanced soil mechanics, foundation engineering and environmental geotechnics. They will also explore basic soil mechanics, soil dynamics, mechanisms of earthquake damage to engineering structures, ground improvement technics for remediation and retrofit, and geo-environmental engineering for solving earth environment problems. In terms of the atmosphere, students will explore interactions of chemicals between the atmosphere and other spheres like hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. They will also explore the fundamental chemical and physical properties and the origin and fate of air pollutants.In planning and management, students will focus on the following themes: city and community scales and their spatial composition/distribution; urban areas and urban infrastructure; urban mobility and transport systems; urban landscapes and spatial design; the history of civil engineering; surveys on urban disaster-prevention; and planning/design techniques, ranging from planning to design and project management.46Major in Civil and Environmental Engineering
