Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering structures its curriculum around three pillars: civil engineering, architecture, and environment—fields essential to societal activities. Graduates of this department work on projects that become landmarks in cities, such as the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the Tomei Expressway, railway facilities like the Shinkansen, and buildings like the Tokyo Olympic Stadium and Sendai Mediatheque. Furthermore, graduates also work on facilities directly related to people's health and safety, such as water and sewage systems and water treatment plants, as well as disaster prevention measures against ground and structural damage caused by earthquakes and rainfall. We guide our students to develop creativity, aesthetic sense, pride in their work, and the fundamental abilities to create buildings and structures with safety as the top priority.

During your first year, you will take introductory courses in three fields: civil engineering, architecture, and environmental engineering, encouraging you to consider your future career path. In your second year, you will split into the Architecture course and the Environmental Civil Engineering course, where more specialized education will begin.

Our faculty is diverse and dedicated to our students. They come from a variety of universities, including international faculty and faculty with corporate experience, providing engaging and practical lectures based on a wide range of research areas and real-world experience. Furthermore, they possess extensive networks that will be invaluable during your job search, and they support every student until they find employment. As a result, our job placement rate has remained nearly 100% for the past few years.

Our department has produced over 5,000 graduates who are active in a wide range of fields, and our graduates are highly regarded by companies. Our faculty strives to provide the best possible education so that you can become a valuable asset following in the footsteps of your predecessors. We encourage you to join us in your studies.
