Graduate School of Science and Engineering
Major in Engineering Science
The Major in Engineering Science has "mechanism building" as its core concept. This major is based on the basic philosophy of "creating highly functional and safe mechanisms in science and technology systems," and aims to cultivate students who possess broad perspectives across fields of machinery, electrical, electronic, and information communication foundation engineering through education based on the fundamental education system of mathematics and physics as natural sciences, along with the ability to discover and solve problems across basic and applied domains. Based on this purpose, we provide students with the ability to understand the essence of phenomena behind cutting-edge knowledge and new technologies from the basics, and cultivate competent 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 and social systems.
Students who accumulate experience in the fields responsible for each specialized area of the master's program and wish to pursue the path of researchers will advance to the Major in Integrated Science and Engineering in the doctoral program. In the doctoral program, we adopt 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 guidance of their main supervisor, activating innovative research from a broad perspective. Students can compile a doctoral dissertation based on the results of research conducted in the doctoral program, undergo examination, and obtain a degree. This doctoral program has a policy of strengthening and expanding cooperation and exchange with the Organization for Research and Development of Innovative Science and Technology within the university, as well as with other domestic research institutions and overseas universities, to practice multifaceted research education. Enrolled students will contribute to these activities through their own research, and thereby can walk the path to becoming specialized researchers with broad academic knowledge and an international perspective.
