Overview

This International Course in Management of Civil Infrastructure from Kyoto University deals with the various topics with intentions to contribute to the maintenance, restoration and construction of sustainable societies on the earth. Specifically, we investigate subjects such as the construction and maintenance of infrastructures, disaster prevention, environmental problems, and resource and the energy developments. 

Kyoto University puts particular stress on the improvement of analytical and predictive abilities for each components in the infrastructure from the standpoint of the computational and experimental mechanics. At the same time we promote investigations on the technological fundamentals for understanding huge systems ranging from earth's crust to the atmosphere, based on the state of the art technologies such as computational science, etc.

Key Features

• The Department  of Civil and Earth Resources Engineering aims the creation of the safe sustainable society with energy in harmony with the environment. Specifically, targeting the biotopes on the earth, structures therein and the resources underground as research object, we challenge technical innovation for construction of basic social infrastructure, effective utilization of resources and energy and creation of safe and sustainable global society. 

• Kyoto University practices based on such technologies and thorough basic skills and practical applied skills necessary to be engaged on research and development, cultivate abilities to explore new technologies and human resources that can address flexibly the complexity in the society from international and multilateral prospective.
