| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Civil Engineering is the field that provides the essential technology and knowledge to improve the social infrastructure. Various science, technology, and knowledge are required to realize "convenient and comfortable cities", "safe countries to live in", "eco-friendly global society", and "sustainable civilization based on resources and energy". As an introduction to learn Civil Engineering, this course explains the essence of Civil Engineering from four fields in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering, Hydraulics and Hydrology, Geotechnical Engineering and Planning and Management). Throughout the lectures and exercises including visiting lecturers, the student is expected to learn the essence of Civil Engineering and the ethics of engineering. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand that Civil Engineering is the organization of the technology and knowledge related to social capital improvement, prevention or mitigation of disaster, and creation of environment. | |||
