increasing. However, when university education was carried out only by usual method of
education, since workers are required to study at least two years away from work, opportunity
for them to receive university education has been constrained.
Therefore, in Article 14 of the Standards for the Establishment of Graduate School, it isprovided as “When the special educational necessity is acknowledged in the course of graduate
school, appropriate method of education such as carrying out lectures and research guidance inthe night time or specific period of time and term can be performed.”, and consideration has
been made to allow special measures to be carried out for studying of engineers, educators andresearchers in society.
Based on this, the Graduate School of Engineering takes following measures in general topositively accept engineers, educators and researchers in society who wish to study in a
graduate school.
1. In addition to the regular class time, classes until 11th, 12th periods (18:00 ~ 19:30) on
weekdays for the night time, and between 1st, 2nd periods (8:50 ~ 10:20) and the 7th, 8th

periods (14:40 ~ 16:10) on Saturdays and Sundays for the weekend are available to be taken.
Also, students may take classes during their long vacation from work if needed.
2. For the case above, please make a feasible plan with sufficient consultation with the teacher
whom you wish to take the guidance.
Ⅴ．Long-Term Attendance System
Although the standard program length of the Doctoral Course of the Graduate School ofEngineering is three years, to work on research while being engaged in occupations has manydifficulties such as time constraints, so it may take more than three years to complete andeconomic burden increases.

Ⅲ. Outline of Divisions and Contents of Laboratories
1 Division of Materials Science
Comprehensive researches and developments concerning properties and reactions ofmaterials are required nowadays in order not only to extend current advanced
technology but also to develop new techniques holding sway over the future of ourcountry, such as those for effective utilization of resources and preservation of theenvironment. From this viewpoint, techniques for design, manufacture and utilizationof new materials are very important in mechanical and electrical engineering, anddesign and synthesis of new materials are also important in chemical engineering.
Hitherto, investigations on materials had been carried out rather independently indepartments of different fields in universities. Recently in various engineering fields,
however, materials of a variety of functions are required more than before, and thus, amore organized cooperation among researchers in different fields of materials sciencehas become indispensable.
From these points of view, Division of Materials Science consists of two laboratories:“Laboratory of Materials Physics” including six education and research groups(Mechanical Properties of Materials, Material Design, Advanced Manufacturing
Technology, Electronic Properties of Materials, Electronic Materials and Electronic
Devices) and “Laboratory of Materials Chemistry” including six education and researchgroups(Organic

Fine

Chemistry,

Functional

Conversion

Chemistry,

SystemMeasurement Chemistry, Biofunctional Chemistry, Functional Polymer Chemistry andAdvanced Inorganic Chemistry).

The division promotes cooperation between the

research fields characterized by the needs and seeds, and facilitates purposive
researches, such as those on technologies utilizing fundamental properties of materials,
based on quantum mechanics and electronic physics, and those on the synthesis offunctional materials with a desired property on the basis of practical needs. A highly
qualified education including a wide interdisciplinary field can be received in thisdivision.
Laboratory of Materials Physics
The importance of materials in the development of cutting-edge technology has been
growing.

In order to make the safe, effective and maximum use of functions andproperties of materials, it is essential to figure out the mechanical and electricalproperties under the various conditions when utilizing the materials. Also, in order todevelop, design and utilize the desired new material, it is quite important to find out thebasic property of material at the micro level. Laboratory of Material Physics has two
fields of research: The one is dealing with the properties under the extreme conditions(ultrafine, thin film, surface, interface, high-energy density, high pressure, high vacuum,
high temperature, ultralow temperature, etc.), theory and experiment on themeasurement, processing and property modification, the reinforcement mechanism andmelt processing property of material, nanofabrication process and micro mechanism,bio-processing, clarification and application of tribology phenomenon, and thedevelopment of biomechanics and the alternative materials for human body. The otherfield is dealing with the semiconducting materials for ultrafast speed element andoptical functional element, magnetic material for high density record medium, newinsulating material and organic electronics material for electrical and electronic devices,high temperature super conductive material and giant magnetoresistive material,
development of electronic materials including multifunctional superfine particle,
development of electronic device utilizing the technology of thin film such as cluster
beam evaporation method, the structural analysis of materials using light, electron
beam, ion beam, and X-ray, and their application to the electronics. Both fields arecarrying out their advanced education and research by keeping each other’s organic
cooperation.
Laboratory of Materials Chemistry
The requirement for the precision and multiplicity of the function of materials has
become demanding more than ever. In order to respond to such requirement, it isessential to develop multiple functions of materials in design and composition aiming at
the development of functions at the molecular level by the composite of materials innano level. In this laboratory, we are carrying out education and research on the nanolevel design of the materials with desired property and function based on chemical
reaction as well as the design, operation, and evaluation of the reaction path
synthesized from these materials. We are also implementing following research: theconstruction of materials with special functions such as sensing function and energy
conversion function and its elucidation from the aspect of material science, elucidationand multiple application of the biofunction, a development of the analysis andmeasuring system of functions, and environmental conservation relating the materials
synthesis.
Our main education and research fields include organic precision chemistry, function
conversion chemistry, functional system measurement, biofunctional chemistry,functional polymer chemistry, and advanced materials chemistry.

2 Division of Systems Engineering
The structure of our society has become larger and more complicated with the recent
progress in automation and information engineering. Now, various systems in thesociety are rapidly developing and they are deeply related to each other. For example,
while energy is indispensable to the support and development of social systems, so
have abnormal climate, such as the warming up of the earth, and the destruction andtransformation of our natural environment caused by the waste of a large amount offossil fuel, become serious problems. As the high level of progress in automation andinformation engineering greatly influences people's lifestyles, it is necessary todesign and develop various kinds of social infrastructures and environmental
facilities for social life in the new age, and to research and develop engineering
technologies related to regional development and in tune with nature. Moreover, inthe manufacturing field, it is necessary to establish systematic harmony between
human beings and mechanical systems with the help of computers, as well as to fusevarious mechanical technologies with electrical, electronic, and information
technologies, and to promote high-level automation and high reliability in
manufacturing technology.
In consideration of these aspects, the Division of Systems Engineering was founded.
It is organized from three laboratories: the Laboratory of Electrical and Information
Systems, composed of four research groups (Information processing, Intelligent
information systems, Information and communication systems, and Electrical control
systems); the Laboratory of Design Systems, composed of six research groups (Fluid
engineering for energy and the environment, Energy systems design, Intelligent
electronic mechanics, Architectural planning and urban design systems, Building

environment and equipment systems, and Architectural structure systems); theLaboratory Recycling System Design (Recycling System). With this arrangement,
organized cooperation among the different research fields is promoted toward theaim of developing fundamental and application techniques for various systems
related to the fields of electrical, information, mechanical, and architectural
engineering, and so forth. Simultaneously with such research activities, the Divisionaims at the education of researchers and engineers who are capable of systematic
thinking and a broad view of coping with the specific needs of the society.
Laboratory of Electrical and Information Systems
The fields of electricity and information are closely interlinked and highly developing.
These fields are deeply related with people’s livelihoods, cultural and socialorganizations, and economic and industrial structures. Based on the situation, thislaboratory is working on education and research on the following issues: the software
science to support the technology of electricity and information, the basics andapplications of computer such as information processing system, pattern recognitionand natural language understanding, and computer graphics, the information andtelecommunication

engineering, image engineering, multimedia communication, and information network,
the theory on the foundation and control of electrical energy, and the electric control
system related to the application to power electronics, mechatronics, and robot control.
Laboratory of Design Systems
As our society becomes more and more information-oriented and aging, the researchaiming at the enrichment of social environment as well as the coexistence of human andnatural ecosystem is required. Under such social requirements, we are carrying out
the following education and research themes: the development of new energy system
giving consideration for the maintenance of environment and resources, the technology
for the effective use of various energy machines, the energy system design aiming at theexpression of high functionality on molecular and atomic level, the development ofhighly intelligent mechanical system aided by electronic machine and computer which

highlyefficient,human-friendly, and nature-harmonious architectural structures, cities, and regions,the thermal physics of architectural structures and urban space, the optimized design offacilities, the dynamic theory and design theory of structural system, and the structural

behavior related to the ultimate safety.
Laboratory of Recycling System Design
Recently, the limitation of resources and energy has been strongly recognized inrelation to the environmental problem. Therefore, constructing the technology for theeffective utilization and recycling of resources and energy and the technology forenvironmental conservation has become the major research theme of pressing need.
Considering these aspects, the Laboratory of Recycling System Design is carrying out
education and research on recycling systems concerning environmental conservationand effective utilization of resources and energy. Our research especially focuses onenvironmental fluid engineering, control of fluid and heat flows, and durability andrecycle of structures.

practices on certain practice themes and submit reports in Cooperation ResearchCenter in the university or public / private institutes outside of the university.
・ “Course Completion Design”
In order to develop abilities as highly skilled engineers and abilities to define thesignificance of their own researches in the society, students shall make works(electrical and electronic circuit, experimental device, mechanical product, design for
new material and functional material, design for structure, analysis system forphysical phenomenon, integrated system, computer graphics, software program,etc.) which are realizable in the special fields related to their themes of doctoral
dissertation by way of practical trainings to achieve concrete designs brushed up
from some basic ideas.

3 Essentials of Working on Doctoral Dissertation and the Procedure of Examination① Research guidance by more than two advising teachers
Vice-advising teachers shall be decided besides a main advising teacher. Students
shall be supervised their researches by more than two teachers. In order to promote theexpansion of students’ field of vision and improvement of the research level so thatthey will be able to conduct their research activities as independent researchers in theirfields, not only research skills in their fields but also skills to find out problems withbroad field of view and skills for the creative solutions are trained by teachers.
② Interim reports of researchInterim reports of research (reports of original research contents including review oflast five years, explanations to people in other fields, discussions in terms of application,
responses to questions and indications offered at academic conferences, impact andevaluation of the research result in the society, and future perspective) shall be
conducted about three times before the completion of Doctoral course in order for
students to understand their exact positions in their research fields and practice skillsof presentation and discussion with people in other fields.
③ Research outside of the university

Students can conduct a part of their researches in some institutes outside of theuniversity under the close contact with concerned division and advising teachers inorder to activate the whole graduate school by promoting collaborative research withinstitutes outside of the university.
