Approach for Cultivating Engineering Design Mind by Introducing Architecture Engineering Curriculum in Department of Civil Engineering, FNCT

摘要

In Dept. of Civil Engineering, we added the contents of the Architecture fi eld to civil engineering towards an engineer's training currently called for by today's construction industry. Although this department was a subject of study for studying only the civil engineering fi eld, it changed to take inthe study about an environmental arena in 1993. And the Architecture fi eld was taken in order to correspond to the talented-people image for which the present construction industry asks this time. In a new curriculum, the subject of an Architectural forms about 30% of the whole. Specifi cally, the point that seven units of lessons of the architectural design are built is the biggest change. In addition, the subject of Architectural planning, Architectural design, the history of Architecture, Architectural environment, and Architectural equipment were newly extended and Some subjects of civil engineering fi eld were changed into the elective subject. The teacher of the Department of CivilEngineering fi nished these improvements in about three years from 2006 to 2009. By this improvement, the design mind is raised through the design of Architecture. It is of utmost importance that a registered architect's examination can receive now the 1st class and the 2nd class. A student's future position and career will change sharply. Moreover, as a physical result, a female student's school entry rate improves and the participating rate to the KOSEN Design Competition is also increasing. And in the design competition, winning a competition is achieved except the structuresection. Future, furthermore, it is necessary to scrutinize a curriculum and to improve continuously.
