Department of Civil Engineering

History

This first dean of the department was Hsieh, Gi-Shiu (1997~2001), followed by Chen, Wei-Wen (2001~2004) and Lai, Wei-Cheng (2004~2005).

The school was restructured as the Army Academy by order in August 2005. The name of the department changed to the Department of Civil Construction. Dr. Chiu, Chuan-Cheng was invited to become the dean of the Department of Civil Construction.

Dr. Tang, Chi-Wei was invited to serve as dean of the department in February 2010.

Dr. Chen, Wei-Wen served as dean of the department since August 2013.

Dr. Wang, Jing-Zun served as dean of the department since August 2016.

Dr. Chen, Wei-Wen served as dean of the department since August 2022.

Following the growth of the department, the department now comprises nine teachers and one technician. The department has complete equipment and stands out at the top of domestic civil construction educational departments.
