Purpose of class
Course content
In the Special Course in Environmental Disaster Prevention Engineering, students will acquire the advanced specialized knowledge and experimental skills necessary for writing a doctoral dissertation through research, analysis, and experiments aimed at strengthening and extending the lifespan of infrastructure, which is the foundation for comfortable and sustainable lives, as well as disaster prevention. In particular, as the environment in which infrastructure is used changes due to changes in people's socio-economic activities and changes in the natural environment on a regional and global scale, students will be encouraged to interact with other fields and to navigate borders and fusion areas, including the relationship between technology and society, nature, and the environment, and will acquire knowledge and the ability to utilize it that will contribute to the advancement, purification, normalization, reliability, and safety of society, culture, and life.
