We Address the Fundamentals of Engineering

As history shows, the establishment of ancient civilizations began with the management of mountains and rivers (治山治水). Humanity has long strived to build harmonious civilizations in concert with nature, and it was within this pursuit that Civil Engineering, the foundation of modern engineering, was born. By engaging with this most fundamental discipline of engineering, we take great pride in our role of laying the groundwork that sustains continuous social and economic activity.

Continuing Korea University’s Proud Tradition

Since its founding in 1964 as the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Architecture, countless graduates of our school have advanced into diverse fields such as government, public enterprises, universities, research institutes, construction firms, and design companies. Each has served in key positions, playing a leading role in the development of the nation and society.

Our School not only covers traditional areas such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics and hydrology, environmental engineering, construction management, construction materials, and transportation engineering, but also expands its scope to fields like climate-change-responsive infrastructure and renewable energy, steadily preparing for an uncertain future.
