English-Based Program ofEnvironmental andSustainability-Related Studies
英語による「環境と持続可能性」に関連する研究プログラム
The Green Science and Engineering Division is a division in which the educational guidanceis given by English. It occupies a special position among the nine divisions of the Graduate
School of Science and Technology. That is, the entire educational program, includinglectures and research guidance, is conducted in English. In addition, emphasis is given toenvironmental and sustainability-related studies, which are vital to the future of humankind.
To foster crossdisciplinary education, faculty members from the eight divisions (MechanicalEngineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Applied Chemistr y, Chemistr y,Mathematics, Physics, Biological Science, Information Science) will be involved in teaching
and research guidance. At the same time, by joining the research group of the faculty
member of their choice, students can receive research guidance and pursue much moreadvanced research work.
グリーンサイエンス・エンジニアリング領域は、英語による教育指導が受けられる領域です。この領域は、理工学研究科の9つの領域の中でも特別な位置づけにあります。すなわち、講義、論文指導を含むすべての教育が英語で受けられる点、また、人類の将来を考えるうえで最重要テーマである「環境と持続可能性」に関連する研究に重点が置かれた点を特徴とするプログラムです。
分野横断的な学びを推進するため、このプログラムでは他の8つの領域（機械工学、電気・電子工学、応用化学、化学、数学、物理学、生物科学、情報学）のすべての教員が教育と研究指導を担当します。同時に、学生は他の8つの領域から1人の指導教員を選び、その研究グループに参加することで、より進んだ研究と論文指導を受けることができます。

The Graduate School of Science and Technology has one interdisciplinary graduate
program with nine divisions.
The interdisciplinary graduate program aims to be both specialized, to bring to light newscientific information and technological developments in all the academic divisions, andinterdisciplinary, to foster a common regard for the effects of such developments onhumankind, the society, and the global environment.

The first stage of the program is designed to maintain consistency with undergraduate
instruction by combining crossdisciplinary knowledge and specialty with the objectiveof cultivating highly educated individuals who can contribute to the well-being of
humankind and the society. The second stage of the program aims to produce
researchers who can execute independent research in one or more academic fields.
