Department of Integrated Design Engineering offers courses primarily at night for local working people’s continuing education to train them as practicalengineers.

05. Graduate School of Engineering
Master's degree program and doctoral degree program were established respectively in April, 2001 and April, 2003 within the Graduate School ofEngineering to cultivate highly specialized technical personnel and excellent researchers.

06. Cooperation in Education and Research among Three Regional PublicUniversities
We have mutual cooperation relationship in education, research, and etc. with other two public universities in Gunma Prefecture (Gunma PrefecturalWomen's University and Takasaki City University of Economics) in order to build international standard universities. As part of this effort, students arepermitted to take courses in other two public universities and the earned course credits from there are accepted as credits for graduation.

07. Cooperation in Education and Research with Gunma University and Maehashi

Chamber of Commerce and Industry
We have made the cooperation agreements with Gunma University and the Maebashi chamber of commerce and Industry aiming at the promotionof science and technology and further development of the local culture. Specifically, the mutual cooperation in areas of medical care, health, welfare,environment,interchangeof constituentmembers, educationforlocalculturedevelopment,andacademicexchangearebeingprogressed.

08. Education and Research Exchange with Gunma University
We have made cooperation agreement with Gunma University in information exchange about student exchange, mutual recognition of course credits,education, academic research, and etc.

09. International Exchange with Overseas Universities and Institutes
We also work on globalization of our university through prompting international exchange with overseas universities and institutes. Now we have madeinternational exchange agreements with several foreign universities, and the student exchange with Beijing University of Technology has been carried outfor many years.

4Introducing Maebashi
The City of Maebashi lies at the southern base of Mt. Akagi. The clear waters of the Tone River and the Hirose River flow through thecity, which is rich in nature and has beautiful scenery throughout the year. Maebashi’s catchphrase is “the City of Water, Greeneryand Poetry”, and it is also known as “the Home of Modern Poetry” since it produced a great number of modern poets like Sakutaro
Hagiwara.
Since it became a city in 1892, Maebashi, the capital of Gunma Prefecture, keeps developing as a center of politics, economy andculture. In 2004, it merged with its three neighboring towns: Ogo-machi, Miyagi-mura and Kasukawa-mura.

The City of Water
The Tone River known as “Bando Taro (means a major river in the KantoPlain)”, which flows through the western part of the city, is the second
longest river and has the largest basin area in Japan. In early summer, youcan enjoy fishing sweet fish. Furthermore, Water Park is built on the riverbedof the Tone River as a part of Maebashi Park. It has a fountain, a pond andwaterfall, and is a relaxing place where people canget close to water.
On either bank of the Hirose River, which flows through the center of the city,
you can enjoy taking a walk along the walking trail, exploring seasonal
flowers, trees, poetic and historical monuments. The river is beautifully
illuminated at night from late autumn through winter.

The City of Greenery
Maebashi can be considered one of the cities with a lot of greenery in Japan.
You will be surrounded with greenery everywhere you go in the city such as
woods within a park and tree lined streets. Such places as the Zelkova
Boulevard in front of the Maebashi Station, Shikishima Park and the weeping
willows along the Hirose River represent Maebashi’s greenery.
In Shikishima Park, lots of people visit the Rose Garden that grows about
7,000 roses with over 600 varieties. The park also has pine forest witharound 2,700 pine trees, a botanical garden and a large green field, and you
will never get bored spending time there all year round.

The City of poetry
Since Maebashi was blessed with nature and prospered as a silk city, many
modern poets were stood out from this liberal background. There were such
poets as Sakutaro Hagiwara who established Japanese free verse, theanarchist poet Kyojiro Hagiwara and Shinkichi Ito, known as a master ofcontemporary poetry.
On the banks of the Hirose River, there is the Maebashi Museum of
Literature, which mainly exhibits works of poets from Maebashi. The cityalso encourages people to have an interest in poetry by giving the Sakutaro
Hagiwara Literary Award for those who wrote a great work in the field ofcontemporary poetry.
