College of Engineering, Ewha Womans University
The College of Engineering is one of eleven major academic divisions (or colleges) of the Ewha Womans University. Established in 1996 with four departments, Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, Environmental Science, and Architecture, the college currently offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. History. The college of engineering at Ewha Womans University was established in 1996 as the world’s first women’s college of engineering. Approximately 1,100 undergraduate and 120 graduate students have been studying at the college under the three divisions — Division of Computer & Electronics Engineering, Division of Architecture, and Division of Environmental & Food  Science. Division of Architecture. The Division of Architecture was founded in 1994 in the College of Natural Sciences as the Department of Architecture. Architecture covers up-to-date design environment from museum to skyscraper to daily surrounding environment, as well as all surrounding facilities including houses, museums, concert halls, schools, and offices. Until 2005, the Department of Architecture was part of the College of Engineering, and since 2006, it expanded to the Division of Architecture as an independent division. The division consists of 2 majors, Architecture Major and Architectural Engineering Major. In the Architecture Major, students study design and planning , and in the Architectural Engineering Major, students study core engineering technology and basic engineering knowledge, which includes structural engineering, environmental technology and construction management. Department of Architecture. The curriculum consists of five areas: Department of Architectural Engineering. The Department of Architectural Engineering operates a 4-year engineering education accreditation program, dividing the subject into the following areas: In the graduate program, various projects are actively underway in such areas as structure repair and reinforcement, structural damage prediction, fire-resistance technology, energy-saving buildings, insulation technology, radiant cooling/heating technology, and construction management technology. Division of Environmental and Food Science. The  Division of Environmental and Food Science consists of Department of Environmental Science & Engineering and Department of Food Science and Engineering. Environmental and Food Science is a field of study for the 21st century where human beings, nature and technology coexist. Protecting nature is deeply concerned with preserving life, thus studying the environment implies protecting life. Food science and engineering is applied science which requires traditional food technology and complex integration of advanced technology for future industry. Department of Environmental Science and Engineering. The Department of Environmental Science & Engineering has performed environmental projects in Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea . Accreditation in engineering education is a quality assurance program run by the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea. The College of Engineering introduced the accreditation program for engineering education in 2005, and established the Center for Innovation in Engineering Education in 2006. It acquired accreditation in engineering education in 2009 as a result of organizing and operating recipient-oriented and performance-driven in-depth courses to actively respond to the demand of the fast-changing society. Research institutes. The College of Engineering at Ewha Womans University is conducting systemic and in-depth research at its various research institutes. Government -funded medium-to-large scale research projects. Currently, the College of Engineering is carrying out a variety of government-funded medium-to-large scale research projects. Exchange students program. Ewha Womans University offers "International Exchange and Study Abroad Program" to exchange and visiting students. This program has been established for students who are interested in a wide range of studies including topics on Asia and Korea, and is open to undergraduate and graduate students from any accredited institution of higher education. Students have the option to study for one or two semesters at Ewha as a non-degree seeking student . All international students enrolled in our program may register in any of the courses offered by Ewha, either in English or Korean, depending on their language proficiency. Location. The college of engineering is located inside the main campus of Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea.
