Mechanics of Materials

The present course introduces the four concepts force, stress, strain, displacement and the four equations that connect them, namely equilibrium equations, constitutive relation, compatibility condition and strain displacement relation. Systematic procedure to solve problems of engineering interest is outlined. In particular, force and displacement relation of structural elements subjected to uniaxial stress, bending, and twisting will be studied.

Drafting and CAD

Graphic language, along with verbal language is a basic and fundamental communication tool for architects, planners, and engineers as well as. As such, this course is taught to prepare the students to use a graphic language for their future design and planning courses.

This class will introduce the basic understanding of architecture and built environments through graphical representation. The students will practice on the hand drawings, model makings and introduce electronic tools such as Computer Aided Design (CAD). Which will be used as a tool for their chosen field of studies.

Structural Analysis

Students will learn how to analyze structures by hand to determine reactions, internal loads (axial load, moment, and shear) and deformations that result from arbitrary external loadings. The analysis will be carried out for various types of structures such as truss, frame, compound beam and so forth. Both determinate and indeterminate structures will be studied.

Fluid Mechanics

This course is an introductory course to fluid mechanics. Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids under all conditions of rest as well as motion. Its approach is analytical and mathematical rather than empirical; it is concerned with basic principles of fluid motion that provides the solution to numerous and diverse problems encountered in many fields of engineering, regardless of the properties of the fluids involved. However, emphasis is placed upon gaining insight into the operative physical processes.

International Planning and Development

The purpose of this class is to teach on global issues such as global warming, environmental conservation and sustainable development, urban housing & infrastructure provision, urbanization process, and industrial development including agriculture, especially in developing countries, and to discuss solutions. This class is an introductory but comprehensive content on human settlements in developing countries, including urban planning/architecture and civil-environmental engineering, along with socio-economic factors.

This class is recommended for students who want to study and develop careers not only in the field of urban planning/international development, but also other fields in the future. It means that even though this class has been offered at the School of Spatial Environment System Engineering, students at the School of International Relations, School of Economics and Management, etc. are recommended to take it.

Energy and Design

Net zero carbon buildings will continue to grow and evolve which can inform the design, construction and operation of buildings. The lecture series aims to help navigate this discourse and understand the principles of environmental design, and their holistic and effective application into human-centric architectural design.

Structural Engineering & Design

The main goal of this course is to understand structural design procedures, design code, design philosophies, and design loadings. Furthermore, it aims to allow students to get familiarized with structural analysis commercial software and practice it in designing and analysis. To help all students use the analysis SW with less difficulties, they will first practice with 2D analyzer and extend their experience to 3D analysis SW. Simple structures studied in the Mechanics of Materials and Structural Analysis will be analyzed using the SW. At the end of semester, every student is to design small-scaled structure and check the safety using the SW.

Environmental Hydraulics and Water Resource Engineering

Hydraulics is a branch of science that deals with practical applications of water and water resources. Civil or environmental engineers are mainly, though not exclusively, concerned with one liquid, namely water. However, environmental hydraulics deals with water in motion and pollutants or sediments transported through water. This course is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of environmental hydraulics appropriate for students with a basic understanding of fluid mechanics. However, for those who are not exposed to fluid mechanics, the first 3 weeks will be devoted to reviewing the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, which is instrumental to understanding hydraulics.

Reinforced Concrete Engineering

Concrete is the most widely used material in the fields of construction due to its advantages such as ease of production, low cost, high durability, versatility in molding, energy efficiency, and others. However, due to weakness in tensile stress of concrete, it cannot be exclusively used for building or civil structures as an engineering material but used with steel reinforcements. In the present course, materials characteristics, design approaches, mechanics underlying the designs, and design specification of reinforced concrete will be studied. Specifically, procedures and specifications will be studied to design various structural elements such as beam, slab, and column.

Engineering Reliability Design

This course deals with basic concepts of risk and reliability in engineering systems' analysis, design, and planning. Students are required to apply probability and statistics to risk-based engineering problems. The primary emphasis is on the reliability analysis procedures when the functional relationship among load and resistance-related variables is available in explicit form.

Students are frequently required to submit assignments using MATLAB. For those who are not familiar with MATLAB programming, the first 2 weeks will be devoted to introductory MATLAB programming.

Soil Mechanics and Engineering

The basic concepts of soil mechanics such as phase relationship, particulate nature, permeable to fluid, total and effective stresses are introduced. Fluid flow through soil is discussed with the aid of flow nets and is also considered for anisotropic, non-homogeneous, and transfer conditions. The effective stress principle is introduced and the responses of the effective stress in the soil are discussed. Influence of seepage on effective stress is also discussed. The strength properties of soil are discussed in terms of cohesion and internal friction angle. Various schemes of soil testing to determine soil shear strength are considered. The elastic deformation in a soil due to stress change is discussed. The consolidation theory is introduced and the stress path method, methods for determination of the consolidation coefficients are discussed.

Geographic Information System

Various spatial data (i.e. population, industry, real estate, environment, and safety) are generated, analyzed, and utilized in cities. In this course, students can learn about how to achieve and analyze spatial data and interpret the results in diagnosing urban problems from a perspective of urban planners. ArcGIS Pro, the most up-to-date application of ArcGIS Desktop, is evaluated as a tool that enhances user convenience. This course will deal with the essential techniques of ArcGIS Pro through a learning-by-doing approach.

Environmental Ecological Engineering 1

This course is an introduction to environmental engineering. Particular emphasis is given mainly to the solution to problems of environmental sanitation, notable in the provision of safe, palatable, and ample public water supplies; the proper disposal of or recycling of wastewater, the adequate drainage of urban and rural areas for appropriate sanitation; and the control of water pollution, and the social and environmental impact of these solutions.

Land Use Planning and Development

Land use planning is the process of regulating the use of land in an effort to promote more desirable social and environmental outcomes as well as a more efficient use of resources. Goals of land use planning include environmental conservation, restraint of urban sprawl, minimization of transport costs, prevention of land use conflicts, and a reduction in exposure to pollutants. By and large, the uses of land determine the diverse socioeconomic activities that occur in a specific area, the patterns of human behavior they produce, and their impact on the environment.

The course aims to: ensure that students have a functional and integrated understanding of the dynamics of urban land use; and demonstrate how to effectively utilize policies and planning instruments to manage urban growth and achieve sustainable, equitable and efficient development outcomes.

Urban Planning and Design Lab

This class can be divided into two specific parts. The first part is what we call “도시 가꾸기”. It is about how we can find the problems of urban space and how to define and cure the spatial problems. The students are going to find their subject on the basis of their independent thinking, and they will narrow down those subjects into a few team projects through their debate and gaming. Finally, they, as a few teams, will find the most valuable ideas about how we can transform the city and settle down the found problems.

The Second part is what we call “도시 만들기”, and more specifically, new town designing. The students will be choosing the probable sites for developing a new town, and they will be focused on the total design or master plan of the town till the end of the semester. The sites can be actual new towns which are going under planning process or imaginary new towns based on the students’ imagination.

Theory of Urban Structure

This course is designed to learn essential knowledge and skills in interpreting research results through diverse quantitative analysis methods. Students will delve into the intricacies of urban spatial structures as they exist in the real world, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the complexities that shape cities and their development. Throughout the course, students will also cultivate their research capabilities, focusing on spatial structures and their implications for future urban planning. By combining theoretical concepts with practical applications, this course will empower students to critically analyze research findings, comprehend urban spatial dynamics, and contribute to the advancement of urban studies. (Since this course covers diverse Korean research papers covering urban spatial structure in the country, discussions will be conducted in Korean.)
