Educating Future Engineers

Students of the Civil Engineering Department at the National Taiwan University (NTU CE) are among the best students scholastically in Taiwan. They are typically very good in learning theories but less prepared for practical, hands-on engineering work. To change this historical phenomenon and to motivate the young students who aspire to be the future civil engineers, the NTU CE has structured a trilogy of design courses in the undergraduate program since 2010, namely the Cornerstone, Keystone and Capstone courses.
