- International projects:
Our participation in the Erasmus+ KA107 mobility with partner countries project with the Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic.
- International cooperation and cooperation with businesses
In addition, the Faculty has signed many contracts for calculation, design, and assessment with construction companies. We have also developed cooperative relationships with many international universities such as Nagaoka University of Technology (Japan), Technical University of Liberec (Czech Republic) and Kyung Hee University, Chonnam University (South Korea). We have also focused on partnerships with large scale enterprises of design and construction. These relationships have provided opportunities for our students for internships, allowing them to become familiar with the professional working environment as well as obtaining good jobs after graduation.
