Applied Chemistry

This field of specialization is comprised of five courses: inorganic material chemistry, organic synthesis chemistry, applied physical chemistry, biological engineering, and chemical engineering. Major research topics cover new chemical substances which include functional materials such as new ceramics, physiological activity substances, supra-induction substances, and biological products. Presentations at academic societies and publications in academic journals are encouraged.

Electronic Engineering

This field of specialization is comprised of four courses: electronic physicality, computer and information, systems engineering, and electronics application. Integration of basic fields of science and applied fields of engineering enables students to develop the know-how to conduct creative research and development. These courses cover all electronics-related fields and exposure to a variety of research connected to information engineering.

Intelligent Mechanical Engineering

In world of a rapidly growing modern society, human resources with the ability and skills to create and design human-friendly, intelligent mechanical systems are required. This masters program enables graduate students to acquire advanced knowledge and skills related to intelligent mechanical engineering, including robotics, mechatronics technology, intelligent robot engineering technology, universal design, social services and ergonomics.

Architecture

This field of specialization develops human resources who offer practical solutions related to modern architecture, including harmony with the natural environment, energy conservation, succession and rehabilitation of historic and cultural heritage and adaptation to an aging society. This field of specialization is comprised of three courses: building planning, building structural engineering and building environmental engineering/facility engineering. Students acquire broad knowledge of overall architecture, with the ability to design, produce, and operate.

Mechanical Systems Engineering

This field of specialization enhances the ability to thoroughly understand the operation principles of mechanical systems and physical laws, which constitute the backbone of “manufacturing,” the core of business society in the 21st century, with cutting-edge research in chosen area of study. Through joint work with undergraduate students, graduate students develop the ability to independently make accurate judgement as leaders in a laboratory and acquire skills required for future engineers.

Information and Computer Engineering

This field of specialization is comprised of four courses: information mathematics, computer engineering, intelligent information engineering, and information communication engineering. This field covers a wide research area of information engineering, from basic principles to practical application in software, hardware and networks, and develops human resources who will instruct new engineers using wide-ranging knowledge and advanced research skills which satisfy basic requirements for advancing toward a doctoral degree.
