Materials Science, and Systems Design Engineering.

≪ Life Science Field ≫Research achievements in the life sciences, such as the sequencing of the humangenome and the discovery of iPS cells, have served as turning points for the developmentof many new scientific technologies, and it can be said that the life sciences are a
discipline that will open up the future of human society. Among the various fields offundamental chemistry, the life science field is playing an increasingly significant role insolving important problems that have traditionally been regarded as the mysteries of life.
With the development of science and technology, the relationship between thelife sciences and other disciplines has become increasingly close, and new integrated
and collaborative research fields are emerging one after another. In order to respond tothese social conditions and needs, the Life Science Field fosters human resources who
have an understanding of the characteristics of Japan as a whole and its regions, havean international perspective, and have the ability to promote research and development
based on deepened expertise and professional skills in life science-related fields, whileobserving social obligations and ethical standards as engineers and researchers, and who

can promote fusion with other research fields and the development of new research fields
beyond the boundaries of their own specialties.

≪ Materials Science Field ≫While human society has undergone unprecedented change and development in
the 20th century due to dramatic advances in science and technology, environmental
degradation has become increasingly severe on a global scale since the end of thesame century. As we have entered the 21st century, advanced science and low-impact

technologies that balance the richness of modern life with the preservation of theenvironment have become more important than ever.
To meet the demands of society, we must open up the field of materials science byunderstanding the properties of materials from the atomic, molecular, and electroniclevels, and by exploiting their full potential to create new materials and functions.
To this end, it is necessary to focus on developing human resources with broad and— 15 —

rich expertise in materials science, transcending the boundaries of conventional academic
disciplines such as science, engineering, physics, and chemistry. In addition, with the
emergence of nanoscience and nanotechnology since the 1990s, there is an international
demand for materials scientists who are grounded in a new scientific and engineeringfoundation that bridges traditional disciplines and who have an overview of a wide rangeof fields and domains, including boundary areas. To respond to this vision of humanresource development, the Materials Science Field aims to develop human resources who
can communicate their knowledge to society in an easily understandable manner, basedon a comprehensive understanding and awareness of the mechanisms of nature and theproperties of materials, and who have the ability and high ethical standards to apply andextend their knowledge for the sustainable development of human society.
1) Applied Chemistry: We promote cutting-edge education and research to understandthe mechanisms underlying the properties and functions of materials based on

chemistry, including the design and analysis of materials at the atomic and molecularlevels, to develop technologies for the creation and use of materials with a strong
awareness of environmental conservation and safety, and to construct sustainablechemical processes. We also conduct education and research through academic
projects to develop human resources with a broad perspective who seek harmony
between the global environment and science and technology.
2) M aterials Science and Engineering: We conduct education and research on theprovision and control of physical, chemical, and mechanical properties to various
materials and on the evaluation of their functionality in order to develop newmaterials with new functions, and to improve the performance of already developedmaterials and develop efficient manufacturing processes for them. We also teach andresearch rational development and manufacturing methods and process design formaterials having the required functionality.

≪Mathematical Science and Electrical-Electronic-Computer Engineering Field ≫With the aging of society, it is necessary to create new technologies and values,
and use information and communication technology (ICT) to solve the problems of rural
areas.
The objective of this Field is to develop human resources with interdisciplinary andadvanced expertise by building an education and research system that encompasses basic
mathematical and physical science areas and cutting-edge technology areas in electrical-

electronic-computer engineering.
1) M athematical Science: The ability to think abstractly and to have mathematicalor physical intuition are qualities that are unique to those who have studied

mathematics, theoretical physics, computer science, and other fields of mathematicalsciences. In today's society, where the amount of information transmitted daily
is rapidly increasing and the complexity of information is rapidly growing, it isexpected that the demand for these qualities will increase in various fields. In themathematical science area, we conduct education and research to improve problem-— 16 —

solving skills from a mathematical science point of view by allowing students to study
more advanced content on the methods of constructing mathematical structuresand physical models as well as analytical and computational techniques that are
indispensable for constructing fundamental theories in various fields of science andengineering, assuming that the students have mastered the Mathematical Science
Course of the Master's Program or equivalent.
2) E lectrical and Electronic Engineering: The current information society is supported
by electrical energy infrastructure, electronic products incorporating optical andelectronic devices such as liquid crystals and LSI chips, information communication
networks including optical fibers and cell phones, and control systems required forvarious large-scale systems and robots. We conduct education and research to develop

human resources who can absorb at a deep level the essence of advanced technologies
in these specialized fields related to electrical and electronic engineering, and who
can contribute to solving global issues, such as energy and environmental problems,and regional issues, such as aging population and local development.
3) H uman-Centered Computing: To achieve human-computer cooperation using ICT,
it is necessary to have (1) a deep understanding of human information processing

mechanisms and technologies that take advantage of them, (2) advanced sensing
technologies that enable the acquisition of desired information, (3) human -centered design principles for the deployment of ICT infrastructure in real space,(4) technologies to realize safe and secure networks by appropriately conveying
information, (5) security technologies that take into account human characteristics
and the development of systems that use such technologies, and (6) human-centeredcomputer software and hardware design technologies. In the field of Human-Centered

Computing, we conduct education and research in the following and other areas:
Advanced Sensory Information Engineering for the development of psychophysicalmethods and the testing and support systems for investigating perceptual and motor
functions, including brain functions; Advanced Remote Sensing Engineering for the
analysis of remote sensing data, algorithm development, and image recognition andapplication; Advanced Spatial Informatics for design systemization of ubiquitous ICT
environments and analysis of user behavior logs and observation data; Advanced
Information Communication Networks for network design and the development of
optimization methods and IOT network system configuration technology; Advanced
Security Systems for the development of human error prevention and image dataprotection technology; and Advanced Software Systems for the development of remotesupport systems and VR simulators.

≪ Systems Design Engineering Field ≫The key to Japan's rapid economic growth in a brief post-war period was largely

due to the nation's outstanding ability in manufacturing techniques and establishmentof production infrastructure. However, there is an urgent need to take short- and longterm measures to ensure the sustainable development of society in the future, such as— 17 —

responding to the aging society with declining birthrate and the ongoing information
technology revolution, securing energy on a global scale, and building a recycling-orientedsocial infrastructure to protect the global and regional environment.

This Field aims to integrate and harmonize various fields such as mechanicalengineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and civil and environmental
engineering, with the goal of making products to create a sustainable society, creating
new industries, and improving the infrastructure of life to deal with these issues. It also
aims to help solve local problems and contribute from local areas to the world, keeping
in mind the need to build a sustainable society that develops creatively, while taking
into account the global environment. To achieve this goal, we have two fields of study:
Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The MechanicalEngineering field focuses on sustainable and environmentally compatible systems
engineering, including aerospace systems for efficient and lightweight next-generation

vehicles, medical-engineering systems for an aging society, and thermo-fluid technologies

for renewable energy use. The Civil and Environmental Engineering field aims tobuild and maintain social infrastructures that enable everyone to live and engage inproductive activities in cities and regions where the population is aging with declining

birthrate, while giving due consideration to disaster mitigation and prevention as well as
environmental preservation.
1) M echanical Engineering: We conduct education and research in three fields: medical
systems engineering related to the development of healthcare and medical devices
to support a superaging society; aerospace systems related to the electrificationand improved efficiency of next-generation mobile vehicles, including aircraft andautomobiles; and environmentally compatible systems related to the effective use ofrenewable energy.
2) C ivil and Environmental Engineering: We conduct education and research mainly inthe fields of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering,urban and transportation engineering, and concrete engineering, with an emphasison advanced research and technological development that integrates these fields,in order to build and maintain a social infrastructure that is in harmony with theenvironment, resistant to disasters, and allows all people to live safely and with peaceof mind.
