Abstract
The need for education that meets the strengths and weaknesses of cyber education is raised because there is difference in the characteristics of students and the needs for education between the cyber university, where the education without constraints of time and space is made, and the existing offline universities. Also, it is expected that the satisfaction of students will be greater if the education is provided based on the analysis of the characteristics of students and their demands for education. There are many students already engaged in construction industry. The students entering the construction engineering department in cyber university are Interested in acquiring the theoretical foundation and professional construction knowledge based on practical experience, professional licenses, and career management. Also, they are interested in further studies at graduate school level and add to academic depth. This study suggests the necessity of establishment of construction education system Including objectives and curriculum in cyber university based on the analysis on the characteristics of students and educational needs.
