Officially founded in 1979, the Department of Civil Engineering is one of the original departments of the College of Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. The Department has twenty-eight full-time faculty members and sixteen staff dedicated to the education of around 314 undergraduate students and 240 graduate students. As one of the top-ranked Civil Engineering programs in Taiwan, our department aims to build a harmony of people and Energy, Ecology, and Environment (EEE). The education in the department prepares students for leadership and helps them to achieve excellence in the profession of civil engineering. Through individual and collective efforts, the department also provides technical expertise and service to other public, private, and professional entities.
The Department of Civil Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University conducts cutting-edge research in evolving and vital areas that address the pressing needs to improve and protect our living environment. The needs include building a society resilience to different hazards such as earthquakes and flooding. Extensive attention will be paid to adapt civil infrastructure to withstand adverse changes in weather and climate. The department establishes and advances the intellectual foundations of new fields of study such as application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in civil engineering, positioning technology, advanced earthquake prevention technique, etc. There are many research activities, including, but not limited to:
1. Application of information communication and nanometer technology to civil engineering
2. High-tech factory building vibration(quake) prevention research
3. High efficiency calculation research
4. Development of new technologies for anti-quake experiments
5. R&D on positioning technology
6. R&D and integrations on space and water conservancy information systems
7. Real-time sediment, landslide, and flood observation for disaster prevention and mitigation
8. Smart Materials and composites
9. Computational Mechanics
