Faculty of Engineering

The strength of the Faculty of Engineering are its challenging sprit and advanced research activities. This faculty has been a leader in science and technology in Japan for over 120 years since the establishment of its forebear, the Silkworm Disease Experiment Section of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce in 1884.
In 1989, a doctoral course was established in the Graduate School of Engineering, and simultaneously, twelve former departments in the undergraduate course were reorganized into three larger departments. After three further reorganizations, the Faculty of Engineering now consists of the following eight departments: Biotechnology and Life Science, Applied Chemistry, Organic and Polymer Materials Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Systems Engineering, Applied Physics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Computer, Information and Communication Sciences.
The Faculty of Engineering is highly regarded for its educational and research activities in both social and academic aspects, and is proud of the outstanding number and amount of grants from outside organizations as later described in the paragraphs for the research systems and operational expenditures.
As a result, it provides an excellent research environment equipped with advanced facilities, which is of great benefit to its students. As of April 2004, 2,755 students were studying in the Faculty of Engineering.
Also, the Faculty is unique in its acceptance of candidates who have graduated from colleges of technology, or been engaged in private enterprise. this being done in an efforts to promote lifelong education.
