Faculty of Faculty of Engineering Diploma Policy
The mission of Faculty of Engineering is to "produce talent that will change the world through science and technology." In order to change the world through science and technology, it is necessary to have not only advanced specialized skills in the field of engineering, but also the ability to quickly identify the complex and diverse problems of modern society and set them as solvable issues. To graduate from the bachelor's program, students must have studied for a specified period of time, acquired the required number of credits based on the curriculum policy, and have achieved the following nine university-wide criteria to be awarded a bachelor's degree (engineering).
(A) Have acquired basic academic ability in natural science appropriate for a graduate of an engineering faculty.
(B) Have acquired the academic knowledge required in each academic field and are equipped with the ability to think logically and have insight based on principles that contribute to the creation of science and technology.
(C) Have the ability to sustainably solve problems and conduct research and development by utilizing specialized knowledge from a mission-oriented standpoint.
(D) Have acquired the communication skills necessary as an engineer or researcher in a variety of environments, both domestically and internationally, as well as the education and ethics that support a pluralistic perspective.
Curriculum Policy of Faculty of Engineering
① Curriculum composition policy
The curriculum of Faculty of Engineering is organized in accordance with the diploma policy of "Developing intellectual professionals in engineering through Zelkova-style education - Nurturing the trunk of expertise and spreading the branches of diversity." Each department is designed to include multiple academic fields under an easy-to-understand department name, and is designed to establish expertise and cultivate interdisciplinary skills to survive in an increasingly diverse society.
② Policies regarding the content and implementation of education
The subjects studied over the four years consist of "liberal arts subjects," "basic specialized subjects," and "specialized subjects." In order to develop the core of their expertise, students begin studying specialized subjects in the first semester of their first year. In order to broaden their diversity, students are also given the opportunity to take on-campus internships in their third and fourth years.
Liberal arts courses are offered from the first to fourth year, primarily to help students acquire the skills stipulated in items (A) and (D) of the Faculty of Faculty of Engineering 's diploma policy. Freshman courses provide students with the basic academic skills they need to study in the Faculty of Faculty of Engineering, global humanities and social science courses provide the liberal arts that support a multifaceted perspective, science liberal arts courses provide students with an appropriate sense of ethics for engineers and researchers, and global development courses, global language and culture courses, and sports and health science courses improve students' communication skills, which are necessary in a variety of environments.
Most of the specialized foundation subjects are offered in the first and second years to help students acquire the skills stipulated in items (A) and (B) of the Faculty of Faculty of Engineering Diploma Policy. By studying foundation subjects in natural sciences and subjects that form the basis of specialization required in each academic field, students will acquire basic academic ability in natural sciences, including mathematical ability, and the knowledge that will form the basis of the specialized learning content in each department.
Specialized subjects are offered from the first to fourth year, primarily to help students acquire the skills stipulated in items (B), (C), and (D) of the Faculty of Faculty of Engineering Diploma Policy. Students acquire specialized knowledge through lectures, and develop logical thinking and insight based on principles through related exercises, practical training, and experimental subjects. They also acquire the ability to continuously solve problems and conduct research and development by utilizing specialized knowledge through experimental subjects, laboratory experience assignments, graduation research, etc.
③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In lecture courses, which are primarily aimed at acquiring basic liberal arts skills, fundamental academic ability, the ability to utilize specialized knowledge, logical thinking skills, insight, and the ability to form a social and ethical outlook, as stipulated in the diploma policy, students will be assessed on their level of achievement through exams, reports, etc. In experiments, practical training, and seminar courses, which are primarily aimed at acquiring the executive skills to advance research and development, the interpersonal skills to support collaboration with others, and the communication skills stipulated in the diploma policy, students will be assessed on their level of achievement through reports, oral exams, etc. Grades for course subjects are expressed in five levels: S, A, B, C, and D, with S, A, B, and C being passes, and D being a fail.
