About this department

The present Japan owes its convenient life and strong economy to well-developed social infrastructures including traffic facilities (roads, railways, airports, port and harbor), educational facilities(school, library), medical facilities, energy facilities(nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric power generation), and energy stock/delivery systems. Although Japan is exposed to a potential risk of being hit by major earthquake and tsunami, disastrous typhoon and heavy rain, much less damage is expected to occur for human lives and properties compared to other countries. This fact owes to various disaster prevention measures including efficient flood control measurements and landslide countermeasure. This course aims to study necessary technical systems for citizens to enjoy healthy life.

Unique

Course of Civil and Environmental Engineering integrates civil engineering, architecture, and science of disaster prevention with geophysical sciences. Various technologies are used to develop new technologies and to advance design theory needed for the social infrastructure development can be studied from the basics to the advanced level. The daytime course has certified from JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) as a civil engineering field. It is possible to take subjects needed for licensing of Japanese Registered Architectural Engineer (Kenchikushi) for both courses. After graduation, students are working as an engineer in the government office, major general contractor, construction consultant, housing company and so on. Students are possi
