The Dept. of Civil Engineering develops and educates core components and high-tech materials used for electricity, electronics, semiconductors, the environment, energy, and other infrastructures.

In recent civil engineering projects, functional development and harmony with the surrounding environment are essential. Gangneung University's Dept. of Civil Engineering, established in 1996, aims to provide the best educational, experimental, and practical environment to foster active and creative construction engineers.

After graduation, students can find careers at construction and environmental companies, research institutes, public officials, or academia. They can work on planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure areas or prevent and minimize artificial disasters and natural disasters such as floods and droughts.
