To realize this goal, we cultivate highly creative individuals who can contribute to pioneering new technologies across a wide range of fields, based on a physics learned in a unified manner but not being constrained by existing frameworks.

The Program of Electrical and Electronic Engineering consists of three key disciplines: electronics, system control, and communication. Our education and research focus on technological innovation to achieve an advanced information society, highly efficient and energy-saving infrastructure, and a safe and secure society. Power electronics and mechatronics technologies, which realize energy conservation, and information and communication technologies, which ensure safety and security, are essential as the infrastructure of social systems. Energy devices and sensor devices are important elemental technologies for implementing them. To ensure that Japan continues to serve as a global leader in these technology fields, we cultivate pioneering engineers and researchers who can handle the three fields in an integrated manner and contribute to the creation of innovations.

The Program of Mechanical Engineering focuses on advanced education and research to further refine manufacturing processes with the aim of contributing to the development of science and industry. Because machines have shapes, dimensions, and weight, mechanical engineers must have knowledge of industrial mechanics and material mechanics to understand the structure and motion of machines. To develop energy conversion devices in the future, they must also understand thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Electronic machinery for controlling the motion of machines, and production engineering, including material and processing technologies, are also important and underpin the strength of Japan's manufacturing sector. Initiatives to elucidate the mechanism of living organisms are also underway based on the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. While based on the basic knowledge of such broad disciplines, students will engage in highly specialized advanced research and develop into individuals who can lead innovation through the creation of innovative technologies.

Information and communication technology, as represented by the Internet, is recognized as the infrastructure that is essential to maintain life and property in our daily lives.

Program of Carbon Neutrality Science and Engineering confronts challenges such as global warming caused by the excess of carbon dioxide, which has been incurred as a trade-off for a comfortable society. It aims to educate and research the knowledge and technology necessary to achieve "carbon neutrality," meaning zero carbon dioxide emissions in total. Students will comprehensively learn how to create, store, and utilize energy without emitting carbon dioxide, approaching the topic from various perspectives.
Engaging with various disciplines such as "chemistry," "physics," "mechanical engineering," and "electrical engineering," the program encourages a diverse exploration without being confined. To tackle the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality, multiple research labs collaborate to advance new studies. The program aims to cultivate individuals with a broad perspective in interdisciplinary fields and high problem-solving abilities, pioneering the exploration of uncharted territories.

Program of Biomedical Science and Engineering supports technical education and research to create a world where people can live healthy, prosperous lives thanks to the magic of engineering. It turns out problem-solving professionals ready to tackle sophisticated challenges in a broad variety of fields.
Students learn both fundamental and cutting-edge technologies in medical engineering, building a foundation in electrical/mechanical engineering, computer science, and social technology and working from a practical perspective. Research is usually concentrated on three cross-cutting fields: the Cyber field, driven by sophisticated simulation technologies; the Physical field, rooted in longstanding experimentation technologies in the engineering field, and the Heart field, which works in harmony with people and society. We strive to deepen and more fully integrate these three areas to promote future-oriented educational research tied to digital transformation (DX) and other important social developments.

The Creative Engineering Program was newly established in 2016 in order to train engineers and researchers who will change future industry and society through technology. This program serves as a six-year integrated undergraduate and graduate course, with a cross-sectorial curriculum covering the entire field of engineering, and various practical classes such as "Laboratory Rotation". Through these studies, students are expected to become comprehensive engineers with a knowledge of engineering in a wide range of fields.

In this program, the research themes are organizational and social issues that working adults want to solve. Students will identify issues that should be solved through discussions with members of different generations and specialties and seek solutions with faculty members. By taking evening and weekend classes as well as online classes, students can earn a master's degree in as little as one year while continuing to work. Notably, the program is certified under the education and training benefits system of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The actual admission fees and tuition fees paid by students who meet the conditions are almost halved.

As Japanese industry circles find themselves in an increasingly harsh situation, the fields of science and technology in particular need engineers who are capable of flexibly responding to various changes beyond the boundaries of their specialized fields; this has generated demand for the establishment of an education and research system for nurturing such engineers. In doctoral courses of Nagoya Institute of Technology, we have integrated five former departments into a single Department of Engineering so as to be able to provide research guidance without being constrained by the boundaries of one's area of expertise. This newly structured department deals with extensive education and research fields, covering the whole range of engineering disciplines and including the five fields mentioned on the left figure , which we have built up to date. Based on these fields, or rather in an interdisciplinary, integrated manner across them, we will pursue education and research designed to address and solve diverse global and local challenges faced by the industrial and other communities.

For details on each of the five fields, please refer to the master course program in the same area of study as that of the relevant field.
