Fostering engineers specializing in convergent urban architecture for the construction of future urban and architectural ecosystems

Cities are huge and complex products that provide creative and innovative business opportunities as large-scale platforms where diverse disciplines, such as architecture, information and communication, electricity, and electronics, are clustered. Also, state-of-the-art production technologies are concentrated in landmark buildings that represent images of cities. Now is a time that desperately needs capabilities to actively respond to changes in social and demographic structures such as global climate change, urban development in the third world, a rapid decline of existing cities, aging, and an increase of single-person households. In an era of great transformation in which urban competitiveness becomes national competitiveness, the departments of architectural urban engineering and urban architectural engineering at Hanyang Cyber University's Graduate School of General Studies will actively respond to the needs of future engineering education by opening an online engineering master's and doctoral program specializing in "cities."
