What is the Urban Infrastructure and Environment Course?

The course of study in the Program of Civil Engineering (Urban Infrastructure and Environment Course), under the theme of “Urban Disaster Prevention and Resuscitation,” trains students to become leadership professionals with the ability to look at social infrastructure systems from a global perspective through a broad study of people (urban, transportation, spatial information), nature (environment, disaster prevention, resilience) and objects (design, materials, maintenance and management). The program is designed to nurture engineers with leadership skills and the ability to see the big picture of social infrastructure systems.
