Laboratories
Faculty members who teach specialized subjects have their own laboratories where they conduct cutting-edge research and development. In the fourth year, students join this laboratory and can experience the activity of discovering and creating unknown things through research.
After graduating from university, students can also go on to graduate school and gain further experience in a laboratory. By devoting themselves to graduate school studies, students can develop the ability to think independently and develop ingenuity and logical thinking skills.

Research Introduction |
||
| Coastal and Ocean Engineering Laboratory | KIM Sooyoul Associate Professor |
Physics-based and data-driven models are developed for coastal and ocean risk assessments due to storm surges, waves, tides, river flow, rainfall, runoff, backflow from drainage systems, and flooding. Then, we contribute to mitigating the risk along the coast and sustainability in the urban coastal area. | Website |
