Undergraduate Program
::: 2011-04-01 11:51:18
Our undergraduate program aims to help our students excel in the field of construction engineering domestically or internationally. Our course curriculum offers fundamental engineering training and develops students' ability to carry out the experimental work and the practical training in order to bridge theory and practice. Our full-time and part-time faculty members from industry offer balanced knowledge in major areas in construction engineering, including: structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction management, construction material, and information technology. Students need to earn 136 credits in order to graduate with a bachelor's degree. Our undergraduate program is IEET accredited since 2007. The following describes the objectives and outcomes of our undergraduate program.
objectives
