School of Regional Innovation and Social Design Engineering

Civil Infrastructure Course Program

The course program aims at nurturing professional engineers who can engage in the design,
construction, maintenance and management of social infrastructure for creating the future of the region such as “lifeline systems in cold regions,” “an advanced information and communications society” and
“infrastructure facilities suitable for the region” to cope with a chronically low birthrate and a rapidly aging society.

Faculty Interview

Kiyoshi TakahashiProfessor

◎Profile: ompleted the latter period of a civil engineering doctorate at the Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University. Research interests include urban and transportation planning.

Be curious and accept diversity.
Also, acquire a “thinking engine” by enhancing
the power of perception.

In this course, students learn about “lifelines in cold regions,” “advanced information and communication society” and “designing, building, maintaining and managing infrastructure suitable for each region” in Japan’s rapidly aging society with a chronically low birth rate. The aim is to foster students who aspire to be employed by construction and construction consulting firms or to become public servants engaged in the management of urban or regional civil infrastructure, by offering fundamental civil infrastructure classes on advanced technologies for managing construction processes, CAD, remote sensing and ICT technologies. The engineering domain is broad and deep, and all aspects are useful for enriching our lifestyle. I believe KIT can offer something that students want to aim at for the rest of their life. It is very much hoped that students will disseminate their ideas and technologies to the world through KIT.

Lecture

  • Integrated Study in Okhotsk Region I, II

    Students identify problems facing the Okhotsk region through
    classes by guest lecturers, their own investigations and
    brainstorming sessions and by finding effective solutions
    through teamwork.

  • Construction Technology

    Students acquire basic knowledge about designing and constructing soil structures, which are important and fundamental aspects of civil infrastructure, and learn how to manage construction work using ICT construction and other technologies.
