What is Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is a very broad field that contributes to public welfare and encompasses all aspects of planning, design, construction, and physical facilities including highways, harbors, airports, bridges, tunnels, power-plants, off-shore structures, dams, water treatments and distribution facilities and mass transportation systems. There are a variety of fields in the department including Geotechnical, Structural, Water Resources, Hydraulic, Environmental and Highway Engineering.

Civil Engineering at Kyung Hee

Civil engineeing at Kyung Hee University is an ABEEK-accredited program. The primary educational goal of the civil engineering major is to educate an engineer who can cope with social demands and a scientist who can transfer the newly developed knowledge to society. There are various fields in the department including Geotechnical, Structural, Water Resources, Hydraulic, Environmental and Highway Engineering. The department encourages students to apply their classroom knowledge and develop their creative potentials and abilities through various on and off-campus activities. Most graduates work in government, research centers, public and private construction and engineering companies or continue to study in graduate school.
