Educational Features of the Department of Civil Engineering and Regional Design

All specialized subjects are done with active learning

We will enhance active learning opportunities for students and conduct classes that include student discussions, groupwork, debates, surveys and analyses, practical training and experiments, and presentations.

Site Visits and Retreats

The program provides students with the opportunity to visit off-campus regional design and social infrastructure design sites, and directly experience the communities, facilities, technologies, and initiatives of regional society.

Experiments and Exercises using the Latest Equipment

Students are exposed to some of the latest technologies and given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of actual technologies and the future directions of technological development. In addition, they will learn how the knowledge they acquire at the university is applied in practice.

Internships

Through practical experience in the real world, students learn the importance of social infrastructure development and how to apply what they have learned in the real world. Furthermore, students will both experience and develop a sense of responsibility and ethics as engineers in the real world.

Presentations and Communication

Students deepen their understanding and practice of listening to others' opinions and communicating their opinions to others. In addition, through reading and understanding various issues, they cultivate the basic skills necessary for the process of seeking solutions.

Community-Based Learning

Students will acquire the ability to conduct regional searches, interviews and various surveys by themselves, analyze the data they've collected, identify the causes of issues, and propose solutions.

Taking a global perspective: international exchange

In order to develop engineers who can be globally active, the program also looks at overseas projects and social infrastructure development in other countries, and seeks solutions to problems through various international exchanges.
