Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

   This department carries out instruction and research on the technology for construction and maintenance of infrastructure as the base for human life and  production activities.

   The main subjects offered are in fields of advanced hardware technology, such as the development and preservation of the water environment and water resources, the geotechnical disaster prevention, the design and execution of works, maintenance and control considering the durability decrease of structures, and for such fields of software technology as planning for regional development and environment preservation. The instruction and research on hardware and software technologies are carried out together, with a focus on realistic and pertinent results.
