This course positions civil engineering as "engineering for the citizens" and examines the intersection between civil engineering
and people's lives and consciousness from a sociological perspective. During the course, fieldwork is appropriately incorporated,
and by interacting with a variety of people, including government officials and local citizens, students will develop advanced
communication skills, cooperation, and management skills in a multigenerational co-creation society.
The objectives of the class are, first, to use sociological theory to consider relationships with citizens and connections
between citizens (social capital) when planning civil engineering projects as "engineering for the people". Secondly, to focus
on regions that have been experiencing serious population decline due to the recent low birthrate and aging population, the
class will consider the relationship between regional revitalization, government, and citizens, including nurturing the next
generation of citizens who will support the region and how to create a space for regional design through "co-creation" between
the public and private sectors. Thirdly, the class will consider the development of civil engineering talent that will support
society, as well as career choices in civil engineering and career development in this field.
Through these learning experiences, the class aims to cultivate a perspective on people and society necessary for "engineering for the people" and to develop civil engineering talent with a broader perspective.
