To meet emerging challenges in Civil Engineering, modern curricula must operate with exceptional efficiency, equipping students to address disaster prevention, green technologies, and i-construction through intensive use of ICT; the innovative development and application of AI for big data analysis and database management; and emerging technologies such as undersea infrastructure development. In parallel, education on research integrity and ethics should be provided to students as early as possible to prevent academic misconduct, including falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism.

Increasing the number of inbound and outbound students greatly stimulates NYCU’s international outlook. To support this momentum, international conferences and workshops, overseas field visits, internships abroad, and exchange programs serve as vital mechanisms for enhancing students’ capacity in English communication and international collaboration, starting with daily communication between me and my students in English.

Through these efforts, we aim to attract and steadily retain a new generation of young, energetic talent in Geotechnical Engineering to join our laboratory team. Once you join our lab, you will come to see that Civil Engineering is no longer a 3D job (difficult, dangerous, and dirty) but a dynamic and promising global profession that integrates technology, sustainability, and creativity.

Note that we do not require students to write their theses in English, as Mandarin is acceptable; provided that their work is regularly monitored, presented, and discussed during laboratory meetings.

為因應土木工程領域日益浮現的挑戰，現代課程必須具備卓越的效率，使學生能夠掌握災害防治、綠色科技與智慧施工（i-construction）等議題，並善用資訊與通訊科技（ICT）；推動人工智慧（AI）於大數據分析與資料庫管理上的創新發展與應用；以及探索如海底基礎建設等新興技術。同時，應儘早向學生提供研究誠信與倫理教育，以防止學術不端行為，包括捏造、偽造與抄襲。

增加國際學生的交流人數，無論是來台或出國，皆有助於強化陽明交通大學（NYCU）的國際視野。為延續此動能，國際研討會與工作坊、海外實地參訪、國外實習與交換計畫等，皆是提升學生英語溝通能力與國際合作素養的重要機制，而我與學生之間的日常英語對話正是起點。

透過上述努力，我們期望吸引並穩定留住一批年輕且充滿活力的大地工程人才加入本實驗室團隊。加入後你將發現，土木工程早已不再是傳統所謂的「3D工作」（difficult=困難、dangerous=危險、dirty=骯髒），而是一門融合科技，永續與創意的充滿潛力的全球性專業。

值得一提的是，我們並不要求學生以英文撰寫論文，中文亦可接受；只要其研究工作能定期在實驗室會議中進行監督，報告與討論。

Thirapong PIPATPONGSA  陳賢榮
Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, NYCU
國立陽明交通大學 土木工程學系 教授

I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1995 from Chulalongkorn University, followed by a Master of Engineering in 1999 from Kanazawa University, and a Doctor of Engineering in 2002 from Tokyo Institute of Technology. From 2005 to 2014, I served as an Associate Professor at the Global Scientific Information and Computing Center, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and later transferred to the same position at the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, from 2014-2023. In 2023, I joined NYCU as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering. Currently, my active research involves geo-hazards, surface mining, and geo-sensing technology.

我於1995年自朱拉隆功大學取得工學學士學位，1999年自金澤大學取得工學碩士學位，並於2002年自東京工業大學取得工學博士學位。2005年至2014年間，我任職於東京工業大學全球科學資訊與計算中心，擔任副教授；隨後於2014年至2023年期間，轉任京都大學工學研究科副教授。2023年，我加入陽明交通大學，擔任土木工程學系教授。目前，我的研究重點涵蓋地質災害，地表採礦與地質感測技術。
