Welcome to the Department of Construction Engineering at Chaoyang University of Technology, a young but prospective department among civil/construction engineering institutions in Taiwan. We offer solid theoretical and practical courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs to educate our students to be engineering leaders in this nation.
The department was established in 1994. Initially, a four-year program is provided for full-time students, while a two-year program is provided for night-time students. The graduate program for full-time students was started in 1996, followed by the graduate program for students at work launched in 2000. The department currently employs 20 full-time faculty members and 3 staffs. Current enrollment consists of 453 full-time students in the four-year program, 108 students in the two-year program, 57 full-time graduate students, and 33 graduate students at work. The total number of students is 651.
The department’s goal is to train students to become skilled professionals in the field of industrial engineering and management science. In line with the need for national industrial development, the department cultivates students with the ability to optimize the use of resources such as manpower, material, equipment, capital and information. The department has established a professional service center to provide professional services, seminars and training courses for local industries to enrich academic-industry interactions. The department boasts to have great faculties, equipments, and curricula, and is actively devoted to the education of industrial engineering and management so as to contribute to the development of Taiwan’s industry.
The Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture is the first of its kind in Taiwan. The program integrates the rationalism of planning analysis and the subjective sensibilities of landscaping design into a holistic training program. It provides students with both technical abilities and fine arts background and leads to a degree as well as expertise in the profession. The four-year curriculum combines planning, design, landscaping, and computing into a framework with our major fields: urban planning, landscape architecture, land development and real estate, and computer aided design application.
