Civil engineering serves the planning, design and construction of infrastructure, including paths and roads, harbors, airports, bridges, tunnels, power plants, dams and water supply, drainage, and public transportation systems. Traditionally, civil engineering includes the following studies: structural, hydraulic and water resource engineering, geotechnics, surveying, construction materials, transportation, and construction management.
Marine and civil engineering involves the planning and preservation of oceans, the training of interdisciplinary engineers in the field of oceanography, as well as the classical fields of civil engineering. Marine and civil engineering is required in the construction of ocean support structures and IT-related functions.
Graduates currently play active roles in central and local government organizations (e.g., Ministry of Construction and Transportation, Ministry of Environment), public corporations (Korea Water Resources Corporation, Korea Land Corporation, Korea Highway Corporation), and research institutes (e.g., Korea Institute of Construction Technology). Private companies and corporations dealing with bridges, harbors, roads, and dams require the expertise of environmental engineers. Some graduates go on to graduate school to further specialize in their disciplines in the field of civil engineering.
