Faculty of Engineering

This education program has been formulated from the following perspectives for nurturing human resources according to our education philosophy.

The Faculty of Engineering nurtures human resources who already possess the basic academic skills learned up through high school into people who understand the calling of becoming an engineer, have the ability to analyze and manipulate society and natural phenomena, are intimately familiar with specialist engineering knowledge and have the ability to utilize it, and who will create the society of the future.

Advanced Engineering Education Program

(The Advanced Engineering Education Program refers collectively to the 5 departments: Life science and applied chemistry, Physical science and engineering, Electrical and mechanical engineering, Computer science, and Architecture, civil engineering and industrial management engineering.)

1. Develop the ability to understand people, culture, and society and to observe them from a technological perspective, and also develop a strong sense of mission, and responsibility as well as high ethical standards for linking technology with a new lifestyle.
   For this, after getting a taste of the attitude to learning and an image of the career from the first semester subjects in their first (freshman) year, students then study subjects on human society to cultivate the ability to observe people, culture, and society from a technological perspective and subjects on industry and management literacy to develop a strong sense of mission, and responsibility as well as high ethical standards for linking technology with a new lifestyle.
2. Acquire the fundamental mathematical knowledge and scientific discipline for understanding and manipulating natural phenomena.
   For this, students study mathematical fundamentals in natural science foundation subjects and specialist subjects in their own field.
3. Acquire the communication skills and logical reasoning skills to interact with various people both inside and outside Japan.
   For this, we have established subjects on global communication. Furthermore, these skills are cultivated through experiments, seminars, and graduation research in specialist subjects by working, debating, and presenting in groups.
4. Acquire the fundamental knowledge and technology that form the core of the field of specialization and the ability to study new knowledge and technology.
   For this, we have established specialist subjects and have students take subjects in other fields. In the graduating research for their specialist field, students cultivate creativity by combining knowledge and technology, and the ability to study knowledge and technology on their own.

In order to accomplish effective education based on the above, the systematic specialist knowledge for each general subject and engineering field is provided gradually, building up in steps from the first (freshman) year through to the fourth (senior) year so that learning proceeds with an awareness of the mutual relationship between specialist and general subjects.

Based upon the objectives of each subject, students’ achievement will be impartially and rigorously evaluated, assessing the degree to which students have aquired the knowledge and abilities stated in the diploma policy.

4. Acquire the ability to relate fundamental knowledge and technology that form the core of the field of specialization with knowledge and technology in other fields.
   For this, we have established main specialization subjects to study the core specialist subjects. Students cultivate creativity by combining knowledge and technology, and the ability to study knowledge and technology on their own through taking subjects covering a wider range of specialization in the creative engineering design subjects, and their research activity.
5. Acquire methodology and attitudes to see technology from a variety of viewpoints, and also fundamental knowledge on elements of innovation.
   For this, we have established Engineering design subjects to cultivate student’s ability to have multifaced perspectives and fundamental knowledge on elements of innovation.

In order to provide effective education based on the above, the systematic specialist knowledge for each general subject and engineering field is studied in steps from first (freshman) year through to fourth (senior) year so that learning proceeds with an awareness of the mutual relationship between specialist and general subjects.

Based upon the objectives of each subject, students’ achievement will be impartially and rigorously evaluated, assessing the degree to which students have aquired the knowledge and abilities stated in the diploma policy.

As this program is a six-year, undergraduate and master degree integrated program, we provide individual support for students, and we emphasize self-directed learning and career planning, evaluating their achievement in each semester.

4. Acquire the fundamental knowledge and technology that form the core of the field of specialization and the ability to study new knowledge and technology.
   For this, we have established specialist subjects and have students take these fundamental subjects as well as subjects in other fields. In the graduation research seminar for their specialist field, students cultivate practical skills by combining knowledge and technology, and the ability to acquire knowledge and technology on their own.

In order to accomplish effective education based on the above, the systematic specialist knowledge for each general subject and engineering field is provided gradually, building up in steps from the first year through to the fifth year so that learning proceeds with an awareness of the mutual relationship between specialist and general subjects
