CREATE SUSTAINABLE CITIES
The Faculty of Environmental and Urban Engineering is based on the fundamental concept of creating environmentally friendly "urban development." Students learn about the creation, regeneration, and maintenance of rich urban spaces. With keywords such as environment, urban design, architecture, social infrastructure, information, resources, energy, and environmental chemical processes, we cultivate human resources who can demonstrate the power of science and technology to solve various issues including environmental problems, and who can be active internationally toward sustainable development goals.
Departments
DEPARTMENTS
Composed of 3 departments necessary for urban development: Architecture, Civil and Urban Systems, and Energy & Environment.
Department of Architecture
Students learn not only specialized knowledge in architecture but also human psychology and natural phenomena. Acquire knowledge and skills to create better spaces, including building structures that withstand disasters, environments for comfortable living, and the physical and psychological impacts buildings have on residents. Learn everything about architecture from design to construction and maintenance management.
Department of Civil, Environmental and Applied System Engineering
Learn knowledge for designing, constructing, and maintaining social infrastructure facilities such as roads, railways, water supply and sewerage, rivers, and ports. Cultivate engineers who can functionally design urban social infrastructure to create beautiful and safer cities. Also engage in urban planning and traffic system optimization using information technology.
Department of Energy and Environmental Engineering
Approach the solution of environmental and energy problems from a chemical engineering perspective. Learn technologies necessary for realizing a sustainable society, such as renewable energy, environmental purification technology, and resource circulation systems. Emphasize experiments and practical training to cultivate practical problem-solving abilities.
