Studying in the IUPE Civil Engineering course has been very pleasant. I had the opportunity to meet and learn from world-class researchers in different fields. The 1st year’s KIKAN education courses help you develop communication skills, critical thinking and build up general knowledge. Then, the specialized courses give you the skills and knowledge necessary to become a cultured and forward-looking civil engineer. You will also get a lot of hands-on experience. There are laboratories offered in most, if not all research areas of civil engineering, so I am very excited to enroll in one for my last year of study.

My love for civil engineering has its root in my childhood fascination on the design of massive and complex structures such as skyscraper, bridge, and dam. My dream is to become an engineer with expertise in structural design, and it is here in Kyushu University where I am able to pursue my goal to the fullest. As semester progresses, I was taught a diverse set of skills and knowledge crucial for one to become a civil engineer. Along with that, my awareness on the challenges in engineering world was also constantly expanded all thanks to the stream of exposure I received from the professors in specialized classes. Next year, I will be given an opportunity to enroll into one of the department laboratories, where I am looking forward to learn though hands-on experience.
