Civil Engineering Course
We strive to train engineers who can function as part of a team in creating a social infrastructure and essential facilities that can coexist with both the environment and
nature.
Civil Engineering courseStudents are instructed in the fundamental social infrastructures
of roads , bridges, tunnels, railways, waterways and dams, as well as water, electrical, gas and other supplies that make up a safe and prosperous civic life style. These are taught along with structural designing methods, construction materials, and environmental concerns. Particular emphasis is put on practical training in surveying, civil engineering labs, and seminars in small groups. Choices of potential subjects that lie beyond the boundaries of Mechanical Engineering are also possible.
1) Beyond the fundamental courses of Mathematics and Mechanics, students are instructed in the specialized courses of Soil Mechanics, Structural Mechanics, Hydraulics, and Surveying.
2) Specialized application courses include Road Engineering, Urban Planning, Concrete Technology, Disaster Prevention Engineering, and Environmental Ecology
3) Among the subjects offered are computer based courses in the advanced fields of Structural Design Calculation, Numerical Simulation, CAD (Computer Aided Design), GIS (Geographical Information System), and Disaster Information Networking
Architecture Course
As well as offering a comprehensive education in artistry, utility, and safety in architecture, our objective is to train environmentally aware and caring architects
and architectural engineers.
Architecture CourseStudents learn basic knowledge relating to the three required elements of artistry, utility and safety in a comprehensive course of diverse specialist lectures, training sessions and labs. Also, by adopting an architectural design studio system, the students brush up their creative skills and learn to express their ideas
sensitively with regards to people and the environment, especially in regard to structures for human use.
1) As foundation courses relating to architectural design and manufacture, students learn architectural design (design planning, structural design), architectural planning, urban planning, history of architecture, drawing, building materials, building production, architectural structures, building environment, building equipment.
2) Over a period of four years emphasis is placed on architectural design and drawing classes. In the design studio, one-on-one guidance is provided by architects or full-time faculty.
3) Students learn by putting their practical skills to work in formal practice and organized internships in business training.
Environmental Engineering Course
Our goal is to train environmental engineers who care about people and the environment while creating disaster resistant living environments that meet the demands of a new era.
Environmental Engineering courseWith the subject 'environments' in mind, from the Earth's environment to living environments, students are given a comprehensive education in three areas relating to the environment around them from an engineering standpoint: planning, structures, and the environment.
1) Planning/ Caring about the environment: Students learn ecological planning in harmony with and having minimal impact on nature's ecosystems, as well as the fundamentals of recycling building materials and energy-efficient architecture from the perspective of structural life cycles.
2) Structures/ Resistance to disaster: Students are given the basics in structures designed to reduce the shaking of earthquakes and strong winds, in Disaster Prevention Engineering with its main objective of safety in times of disasters, as well as in disaster-resistant and long-lasting architecture.
3) Environment/ Caring about people: Students master the core principles of Ergonomics/Human Engineering in Universal Design and consider problems in indoor environments such as Sick House Syndrome while learning the fundamentals of comfortable and healthy living environments.
