Research areas Large-scale construction, structural analysis, construction materials, coastal and harbor engineering, water resources, geotechnical engineering, rock mechanics, smart structures

Majors (track)

Geotechnical Engineering This field deals with all engineering problems related to soil, based on soil mechanics, including the design and construction of structures like earth dams, road embankments, and foundation improvements as well as disaster prevention for soil-related hazards.
Structural Engineering This field contributes to building safe and convenient social infrastructure by understanding and applying mechanical knowledge necessary for designing, constructing and maintaining civil structures, such as bridges, high-rise buildings and plants.
Hydraulic Engineering Hydraulic engineering is essential for human survival and the source of civilization. It involves understanding rivers, methods for storing and supplying water, natural disasters caused by water (droughts, floods, and water pollution), marine resources and energy sources, and the impact of water environments on human life. In this field, students learn fluid mechanics, hydrology, river engineering, hydrology, water supply and drainage engineering, coastal and harbor engineering, and hydraulic structure design.
