先進国際課程 A-2 A-2 To suitably lead an international team in the future, students will be able to consider and make decisions on issues in various kinds of problems by grasping what kind of problems are tackled to solve in what way in a wide range of fields in science and technology.
Purpose of class
It is expected students will develop an understanding of the diverse challenges in the civil engineering field, and that they will utilize this knowledge to reflect on and tackle the challenges they will face in their own research and work. Students should also expand their technical English vocabulary for the various fields covered in the class.
Course description
To help students develop an understanding of current problems in the civil engineering field and to obtain knowledge about new technologies to overcome such problems, faculty members from a broad range of civil engineering fields - transportation, planning, surveying, environment, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, concrete and steel structures - will give lectures on trending topics in their respective fields. All lectures will be given in English.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can understand current problems in the civil engineering field
  2. Students can obtain knowledge about newly developed technologies in civil engineering
  3. Students can acquire skills and knowledge to solve problems in the civil engineering field
