Environmental and Urban Engineering
The Environmental and Urban Engineering Major has "system creation" as its core concept. Based on the fundamental philosophy of "creating highly functional and safe systems in science and technology systems," this major aims to cultivate students who possess both a broad perspective that transcends the fields of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and information communication engineering through education in these fundamental engineering fields, as well as problem-finding and problem-solving abilities that cross basic and applied domains. This is built upon a foundation of basic education in mathematics and physics as natural sciences. Based on this purpose, we develop students' ability to fundamentally understand the essence of phenomena behind advanced knowledge and new technologies, and nurture capable human resources who can lead the next generation of industry on the international stage and human resources who can elucidate cutting-edge research issues in technological society systems.
Students who have devoted themselves to the fields responsible for each specialized area of the master's program and wish to pursue the path of becoming researchers will advance to the Integrated Science and Engineering Major in the doctoral program. The doctoral program adopts a comprehensive research guidance system that is not bound by fields as in the master's program. This enables students to receive guidance from multiple faculty members with different specializations across fields, under the direction of their primary supervisor, thereby activating innovative research from a broad perspective. Based on the results of research conducted in the doctoral program, students can compile a doctoral dissertation, undergo examination, and obtain a degree. This doctoral program has a policy of strengthening and expanding collaboration and exchange not only with the on-campus Institute for Advanced Science and Technology but also with other domestic research institutions and overseas universities, and practicing multifaceted research and education. Enrolled students will contribute to these activities through their own research, and thereby can walk the path to becoming professional researchers with broad scholarship and international perspective.
