The Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering was founded on the idea that architecture creates public places for human beings to live and work, as well as a public identity that distinguishes a city. By educating architects and engineers on the basis of this definition, the school aims to express the mutual values of human beings and society with creativity and imagination, applying appropriate contextualization, construction, architectural characteristics, tradition, and technology.
Since 2002, the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering has offered two majors, Architecture and Architectural Engineering. Architecture major is a five-year curriculum that is designed for the education of architects, and Architectural Engineering major is a four year curriculum designed for the education of architectural engineers, that is, to teach students how to apply engineering principles to the design and construction of buildings.
The Architecture curriculum uses coursework and specialized training to help students acquire the following knowledge and skills.
The Department is enforcing the integration (synthesis) process from 2016 and recruit students without classifying major. All students at the department will take the integration course during 1st and 2nd year. When they are at a third grade level, their major will be separated as Architecture and Architectural Engineering by classifying major process.
