Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Introduction The department of Architecture and Civil Engineering is committed to educate the students with professional skills to design and manage buildings and infrastructure with their surroundings in cities and rural areas, to maintain safe and high-quality living environments. The undergraduate program prepares students to pursue both basic and professional knowledge and application ability needed to engineers. The program offers a practical education based on architecture and civil engineering. In the freshman and sophomore years, students in a small number class are expected to acquire not only basic knowledge of liberal arts, architecture, and civil engineering but also professional skills through the subjects of Introduction to Engineering, Practice of Architectural Design, and Project Study and so on. In the junior and senior years, students will be required to take compulsory course either from Architecture and Building Science course or Civil and Environmental Engineering course which are made up of specialized subjects, respectively. The graduate program serves students an education that will enable an individual to set the research issues and find their possible solutions in their research work. Outline

Course Architecture and Building Science course

Outline The Architecture and Building Science course aims to educate students to become practical engineers by acquiring the skills of primary professional fields associated with architecture, including architectural design, urban and regional planning, architectural history, building services, built environment, and architectural structure plus basic knowledge and skills related to the field of civil and environmental engineering. The Architecture and Building Science course is mainly made up of six specialties. The Civil and Environmental Engineering course aims to educate students to become practical engineers by acquiring the skills of primary professional fields associated with civil and environmental engineering, including structural engineering, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, urban and traffic planning, and environmental system plus basic knowledge and skills related to the fields of architecture. The Civil and Environmental Engineering course is mainly made up of four specialties.

Civil and Environmental Engineering course
