Overview
Key Features
Studies of rural infrastructure and its sustainable development are now flourishing, and rural systems engineering is necessary in order to integrate the knowledge of various fields in a useful manner.
Major research areas include Natural Resource Management for the effective management of natural resources such as water and land, Rural Environmental Engineering to construct a pleasant rural environment, Rural Information and Systems Engineering to improve the quality of rural life, and Planning and Design for reconstruction of rural areas and sustainable development. The curriculum of rural systems engineering covers vast engineering fundamentals, foundational scientific areas, and cultural subjects.
The cohesive attitude of the Rural Systems Engineering program from Seoul National University is increasingly necessary since the rate of entry of our graduates into jobs in closely related fields is reaching over 90%. Recently, increased numbers of our graduates are getting more job opportunities in research institutes, public corporations and the government, companies to private sectors. Employment in information and biological engineering fields is also increasing compared to employment in environmental engineering fields. Most of the rural systems engineering students receive a degree engineering license in civil engineering or information engineering before they graduate. The percentage of employment and the prospect of promotion is very high because the ability of graduates to attain a master license of engineering after a few years of practical occupation.
