Graduate School of Engineering (Master's Course)
Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy
Our university's Graduate School of Engineering has set its mission to "create new knowledge that will change the world." In order to create new knowledge that will change the world, it is important to acquire "identity (autonomy, independence, and expertise)" and "diversity (diversity, collaboration, and interdiscilinarity)" and continue to take on the challenge of sustainable development and problem solving in today's complex and diverse society.
Therefore, upon completion of the doctoral program (master's semester), a master's degree (engineering/academic) is awarded based on the fact that the student has been enrolled in the school for a prescribed number of years, received research guidance, acquired the prescribed number of credits, passed the master's thesis examination and final examination, and achieved the following points, which are summarized and integrated by the entire university.
(A) Applicants must have basic knowledge and ethics in the natural sciences appropriate for a master's degree in engineering.
(B) Acquire knowledge in your field of expertise that can be used in cutting-edge research and technology development.
(C) Acquire the ability to set and solve problems and practical skills to undertake highly original research in each specialized field, as well as the interdisciplinarity, multifaceted thinking skills, and leadership skills necessary to carry out research and development that contributes to sustainable problem solving through cooperation and collaboration with others from a mission-oriented standpoint.
(D) Students must have the ability to present their research results among experts and communicate accurately, as well as the level of language skills necessary to communicate to the world in order to play an active role internationally.
Graduate School of Engineering Curriculum Policy (Master's Program)
The curriculum of the master's program is designed on a major basis, and the courses offered by each major are classified as follows. The subjects studied in the two years consist of "specialized subjects" and "common subjects".
In specialized courses, the courses necessary to acquire the abilities of [Perspectives (A), (B), (C)] stipulated in the Diploma Policy of the Graduate School of Engineering (Master's Program) are assigned to each major. Among the specialized subjects, the lecture courses for acquiring knowledge are arranged to acquire the basics of natural science, which is the foundation of the specialization of each major corresponding to [Perspective (A)], and the knowledge that can be used in cutting-edge technology and research in each field corresponding to [Perspective (B)], based on what you have learned at the undergraduate level. With that
Seminars, practical training, and experimental courses are arranged to develop problem-setting and problem-solving skills and practical skills to take on highly original research in response to [Viewpoint (C)].
For common courses, courses are offered necessary to acquire the abilities of [Perspectives (C) and (D)] stipulated in the Diploma Policy of Graduate School of Engineering (Master's Program). In order to provide learning that transcends majors and cultivate interdisciplinarity, lecture courses related to social needs and cross-disciplinary technologies, such as medicine and drug discovery, environment, energy, materials, and robotics and AI, will be arranged as interdisciplinary package courses. In addition, comprehensive knowledge subjects are arranged to deepen understanding of the intersection of natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, and to develop the ability to create new innovations. In addition, internship courses are arranged to deepen knowledge related to each major's specialty through practical activities inside and outside the university, as well as to enhance multifaceted thinking and communication skills through opportunities to come into contact with and discuss the research of others.
