Contemporary construction and urban development projects are becoming more and more multi-disciplinary. Professionals are required who have both comprehensive knowledge and specific expertise. For example, when building apartment complexes, safety and efficiency are not the only concerns. Environmental impact and aesthetic beauty must also be considered. If a building is to be useful in the long-run, an architect should be equipped with knowledge concerning human behavior, social change, technological advances, and finance and budgeting as well. If one person is equipped with this kind of comprehensive knowledge, his or her contribution to such projects and to society in general will be greatly increased.The School of Spatial Environmental System Engineering seeks to prepare its students to be problem-solvers and highly-skilled professionals. Our School's structure and curriculum, as well as the content of courses, are all designed to fulfill these goals. Students become well-equipped in both theory and practice and acquire the skills and confidence necessary for successful work on comprehensive projects and in international settings. Many courses use English textbooks and students have numerous opportunities to participate in volunteer service and exchange projects as well. Through such, students can become familiar with international development and environmental issues, as well as international service.
