CEE-URP 2018 "Earth, Environment & Human"

• The department of civil and environmental engineering is hosting the inaugural CEE-URP program, providing undergraduate students opportunities to design and participate in various research projects intended to resolve diverse environmental problems with multidisciplinary approaches. A total of 21 students, including 12 freshman students, have organized themselves into 7 teams and are independently carrying out research projects of their own design with guidance of the professors in the CEE department. The topics of the research are in touch with impending environmental issues, such as particulate matter pollution and indoor noise pollution. The CEE-URP program is financially supported by the School of Engineering and, in part, the participating professors of the department. Five students selected on merit will be awarded with opportunities to attend distinguished international conferences in their respective field. Prizes worth 2 million KRW will be awarded to the three teams with the highest scores from the panel of CEE professors at the evaluation seminar to be held in November.
