Philosophy

Established in April 2007 as an educational and research institute aimed at providing engineering knowledge, fundamental and applied technologies directly related to a symbiosis and sustainable development of society. Departments in this Graduate School is arranged in a similar way as the Faculty of Engineering to offer a consistent educational system from undergraduate to graduate school.

The Graduate School of Engineering offers the following six departments in both the Master's and Doctor's Degree Program: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Science and Engineering, By covering a wide range of interdisciplinary academic fields (environment, nanomaterial, information and telecommunication, life science, energy, robot, safety etc.), these six departments will create new technologies for the betterment of the society

Master's Degree Program
The Graduate School of Engineering's education and research is dedicated to cultivate human resources with a wide range of knowledge in their specialized field, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The school especially focuses on fostering researchers and highly specialized professionals who are rich in creativity, and possess multifaceted perspectives. Students are granted a Master's Degree in Engineering when they complete this program.

The Master's Degree Program:
Highly specialized main courses established through further development and deepening of the undergraduate engineering courses.
Education in the area of integrated engineering with a number of advanced courses for interdisciplinary engineering education.
Fostering of human resources educated through multi-major course (a major and several sub-majors).
Medical Engineering Course for people who hold a full time job. (Master program to foster core human resources for manufacturing)

Doctor's Degree Program

Further developing and deepening of courses offered in the Master's Degree Program. This program is to foster researchers, academic members of higher education and research institutions, and highly specialized professionals who are highly creative, international-minded, and have an excellent ability to establish, explore, and solve problems by themselves. A Doctor's Degree, either a Dr. of Engineering or a PhD will be granted upon completion of the program.

The Doctor's Degree Program features:
A strict coursework of research for dissertation.
Finding problems, designing research plans, conducting research, organizing research results, finding possible ways to solve unsolved problems and then organizing and reporting these possibilities.
Fostering of human resources educated through multi-major course (a major and several sub-majors)

Advanced Course on Interdisciplinary Engineering
(Multi-Major Course)

Designed to provide an education to foster people who can quickly adapt to the industrial structure's rapid changes and the highly advanced interdisciplinary fields, the Master's and Doctor's Degree Program offers a number of advanced courses in interdisciplinary engineering for all students of the Graduate School of Engineering.
·Nanomaterials Engineering
·Computational Simulation
·Fluid/Transport Phenomena
·Biotechnology
·Introduction to business administration for engineers
·Urban Design towards Safety and Symbiosis
Two or three advanced courses are opened each semester. (Since the objective of the advanced courses is to effectively enhance students' interdisciplinary capacities, instead of credits a certificate of completion will be granted to students who have completed all of the advanced courses.)

Medical Engineering Course
(Master program to foster core human resources for manufacturing)

To provide people who are working full time in corporations with cutting edge education in monozukuri (manufacturing) technologies, the Master's Degree Program offers a Medical Engineering Course. Engineers who are working for manufacturing corporations, between the ages of 30 to 40 are the main targets of this course. The focus is to produce leaders who are capable of representing their corporations when it ventures out into new business such as the medical and welfare industry, or endeavors to develop a new product through the utilization of their corporate technologies.
