Introduction

Based on deep understanding and affection about the human and architecture, the educational goal of the School of Architecture is to train and educate students to become professional architects possessing profound knowledge and technique of architecture and engineering.

To achieve the educational goal, three different programs which are the five-year Bachelor of Architecture Program for KAAB, the four-year Bachelor of Engineering in Architectural Engineering Program for ABEEK, and the four-year Bachelor of Architectural Design Program have their own particular educational goals.

With approximately have 6000 graduates and these graduates are the leader of all levels of society in the architectural field since its establishment in 1952. Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Department, we have set the standard higher to a global standard. The School of Architecture in Yeungnam University will make continuous effort to cultivate experts in every field of the architectural society to lead the new century.

Major of Architecture (5-year program)

Architecture major lays emphasis on being architects to be acknowledged internationally through the development of the creative and active practical design abilities. Through many disciplines such as culture, structure, environment, construction, professional practice and especially architectural design, we are satisfying the need for professional architects on a global standard. The major is accredited by KAAB.

Major of Architectural Engineering (4-year program)

Architectural Engineering major focuses on being professional engineers to understand environmental technical system and to utilize the ability of engineering technique in the field of construction site, structures and environmental and mechanical systems. Through such, we cultivate globally competitive architectural engineers and construction managers. Architectural Engineering major centrally emphasizes education on structures, building construction, environment, equipment, carrying out constructions and construction management incubating many professionals such as Construction Engineers, Structural Engineers, Equipment Engineers, Construction technicians, Construction site technicians and various researchers within the construction field. The major is accredited by ABEEK.

Major of Architectural Design (4-year program)

Architectural Design major is a new major opened in 2008 that focuses on cultivating professional designers to satisfy the need of modern construction and design in today¡¯s society. We develop professionals that research and practice space design based upon human environment with considerations of nature, culture, environment, urbanism and ecology. Therefore we promote professionals that possess generalist with specialties with fundamental ideals of construction planning and specialties in interior design, landscape design, civil design, metropolitan design.

HISTORY

The Department was established from a combination of Cheonggu University in Daegu in March 1952 Architectural Engineering with Daegu University¡¯s Architectural Engineering in 1964. When the two merged in December 1967, the major was reborn as Yeungnam University¡¯s Architectural Engineering and in 1978 Architectural Engineering night classes were established.

In 2002 the Architectural Engineering major had its 50th birthday and further established the 5 year School of Architecture program and a 4 year Architectural Engineering program. Through such distinction we have been searching for the best educational direction through curriculum and in-depth research. In 2008 the department departed from the Engineering Department and is currently its independent department with 3 majors (Architecture, Architectural Engineering and Architectural Design majors). The School of Architecture currently has 135 students enrolled and has graduated over 6000 students who currently work in various architectural field which make up the back bone of Korea¡¯s development for last 60 years.

JOB FIELDS

The approximate 6000 graduates not only work within Korea, they are widely spread in architectural fields. Graduates of the Architecture major will be well prepared for careers as internationally qualified professional Architects throughout the creative and practicing five-year program. Graduates of the Architectural Engineering major will be prepared for careers as Building Contractors, Construction Managers, Structural Engineers, Consulting Engineers and knowledgeable specialists in related areas of building design and analysis. Graduates of the Architectural Design major will be prepared for careers as Urban Architects, Interior Designers, Architectural Consultants and Architectural Civil Officials in related area of public and environmental design.
