About the Department

Convergence Department of Humanities and Mobility Studies

The Convergence Department of Humanities and Mobility Studies aims to
foster creative, interdisciplinary leaders who comprehensively understand mobility and infrastructure through humanistic, social, and technological perspectives.
The department seeks to cultivate mobility humanists and infrastructure innovators
who lead sustainable futures, preparing them to respond to evolving urban environments and societies.

The department consists of two main academic tracks: the Mobility Humanities Major and the Technology Infrastructure Major.
Students develop multidisciplinary thinking and problem-solving skills through a shared curriculum that bridges these two tracks.

Mobility Humanities Major

1) Develop the ability to understand the sociocultural significance of mobility and design human-centred mobility system.
2) Analyse mobility issues in urban spaces, global mobility, the digital transformation era, and the era of climate change from humanistic and social scientific perspectives.
3) Foster critical thinking and creative planning abilities to help shape desirable mobility cultures for the future.

Technology Infrastructure Major

1) Build technical problem-solving skills through an understanding of the design and operational methods of physical infrastructure in transportation, communications, and energy.
2) Develop practical skills for data-based mobility analysis, smart infrastructure implementation, and sustainable urban system development.
3) Cultivate technical expertise and abilities for infrastructure innovation strategies that consider social and environmental responsibility.
