◇ International Program ◇A multidisciplinary international program will be offered for the three integrated courses in theGraduate School of Engineering, with all lessons conducted in English.

◇ Educational Philosophy, Purpose and Goal
1) Educational Philosophy of Master’s Course, Graduate School of Engineering
The basic philosophy of the program is to perpetuate and advance the intellectual heritage
related to science and technology, while contributing to the development of society and humanwelfare by producing talented human resources who can play a leading role in the developmentand welfare of society.
2) Educational Purpose of Master’s Course, Graduate School of Engineering
In addition to possessing specialized knowledge, engineers in the 21st century are required
to have high ethical standards and to consider things on a global scale. Furthermore, issues thatcannot be resolved only by conventional technologies, such as environmental and energy issues
and various challenges presented by an advanced information society, continue to arise.
Under these circumstances, the purpose of the Graduate School of Engineering is toproduce global engineers who can acquire and apply highly specialized knowledge in the fieldof engineering, can identify challenges and use their knowledge to find a solution to tackle thechallenges, can communicate in Japanese and English as needed for research and development,
and can make a great contribution to the industrial world with practical skills.
3) Educational Goal of Master’s Course, Graduate School of Engineering
In order to produce highly specialized engineers who can make a great contribution to
the industrial world with practical skills, it is necessary to develop several capabilities
including broader points of view, specialized practical skills, communication skills, and global
perspective. The Graduate School of Engineering establishes and implements an integrated
education program with the goal of developing these capabilities.

◇ Diploma Policy
The Graduate School of Engineering recognizes that a student will have completed theMaster’s course and awards a Master of Engineering to a student who will be confirmed to havesuccessfully acquired the skills of a highly specialized engineer as described below. It is basedon completion of the required study credits and on screening of the academic study activities
and research results in the Master’s thesis examination and final examination.
・Ability to acquire and apply highly specialized knowledge in the field of engineering
・Ability to clarify challenges and use highly specialized knowledge to find a solution totackle the challenges
・Ability to communicate in Japanese and English as needed for research and development-2-◇ Curriculum Policy
The Graduate School of Engineering designs and implements the curriculum to achieve
the educational purpose (to produce talented individuals), based on the following policies.
.
Policy for Curriculum Development
・ Establish common compulsory subjects, course compulsory subjects (course coresubjects), and elective subjects, in order to develop the skills outlined in the diploma
policy.
・Establish common compulsory subjects and elective subjects, in order to develop theability to communicate in Japanese and English.
・Establish course compulsory subjects and course core subjects, in order to develop highly
specialized knowledge in the field of engineering and the ability to apply this knowledge.
・Establish compulsory subjects, in order to develop the ability to clarify challenges and use
highly specialized knowledge to find a solution to tackle the challenges.
・ Establish common compulsory subjects and elective subjects, in order to broaden
perspective.
・Establish common compulsory subjects, in order to develop expertise in specialized areas.

Policy for enforcement of the curriculum・ A research and study plan shall be prepared through the collaborative effort of thesupervisors and vice-supervisors,with the student.
・A syllabus shall be outlined the purpose of the lectures, the lesson plans, the grading
criteria, and the grading methods.
・Grades shall be awarded under the grading criteria.

The Graduate School ofEngineering offers courses that integrate adjacent fields of study, by bringing them under asingle course to bridge specialized fields. Each offers integrated studies that exceed those of theBachelor’s course, by developing educational programs that bridge different fields and provide
knowledge on a wide range of relevant topics, specialized skills, communication skills, and a
global perspective. The Graduate School produces global engineers who can acquire and apply
highly specialized knowledge in the field of engineering, can identify challenges and use theirhighly specialized knowledge to find a solution to tackle the challenges, can communicate inJapanese and English as needed for research and development, and can make a great
contribution to the industrial world with practical skills.

Graduate School of Engineering〇 Environmental Systems Course
The course integrates chemical and social environmental studies, with the aim of
producing highly specialized engineers who are able to create functional materials andmanufacturing processes that are compatible with nature and are environmentally friendly,
and who can contribute to the development of sustainable technology, using chemicaltechnologies to solve environmental problems related to the reduction of pollution,
restoration of the environment, and effective use of energy and resources.
The course will produce highly creative human resources who can contribute to thesustainable development of science and technology, based on social needs. These needs
include the development of chemical technology to assist with environmental issues, such as
the reduction of pollution, restoration of the environment, and effective use of energy andresources, in addition to the development of technologies and policies for resolving problems
facing local communities, such as social infrastructure, regional disasters and environmentalpreservation.

〇 Energy and Electronics Course
The course integrates the study of electricity and electronics, electronic materials, applied
physics, and applied mathematics, with the aim of developing highly creative and specializedengineers who can contribute to sustainable social growth through energy-related science andtechnology from an international perspective.

Energy technologies are essential for supporting the infrastructure of an advanced
information society. The course will produce human resources who can contribute to diverse
industries and sectors, including industries related to electrical equipment, automobiles, andsemiconductors, and information and communication technologies, as engineers orresearchers. This is based on social needs, such as the development of advanced technologies
including low-carbon energy and smart energy systems.

〇 Mechanical Systems and Informatics Course
The course integrates mechanics, robotics, and informatics studies. The course aims toproduce highly specialized engineers in the fields of design and processing, measurement andcontrol, and information technology, to support technology for making products that improve
human quality of life and use resources in an environmentally friendly way to support asustainable society. The course will produce highly creative human resources who cancontribute to the sustainable development of science and technology, based on social needs,
such as multifunctional and intelligent products, and the development of advanced
technologies for human society and environmental control, and an advanced informationsociety.
