(1) What is the Human Security Engineering Education Program?
Educational objective:
Motivating creative, international and independent researchers and engineers with training in four
related academic fields.
To achieve the educational objectives of the Human Security Engineering Education (HSE)
Program, we provide the HSE courses of the program, the basic subjects in the four academic fields,
and the overseas internship through the English language. The Graduate School of Engineering (three
departments related to global engineering), the Hall of Global Environmental Research, the Graduate
School of Global Environmental Studies, and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute areparticipating in this program and are responsible for training and research.
(2) Educational Policy
Our policy is intended for master and doctoral students to provide interdisciplinary and solid
education in the core fields and four related fields (urban governance, urban infrastructure
management, health risk management, and disaster risk management). The study of these topics will
equip researchers and engineers with the ability to apply their knowledge in an integrated manner
toward ensuring urban human security, as well as the ability to promote these technologies.
Specifically, we aim to promote researchers and engineers who possess sophisticated creativity (inaddition to having a wide range of knowledge, the ability to go beyond the boundaries of the existing
specialized fields), internationality (the ability to present and debate research in English, perform
education and research activity in foreign countries, ability to build international human networks),
and independence (the ability to plan research, leadership in education and research, ability to secure
research funds, and problem-solving ability in the field). To achieve the educational objectives above,
we designate “Human Security Engineering” as the compulsory subject for all students and include
English instruction in our courses. Additionally, to enable students at the overseas campuses toparticipate in the program, we will also provide intensive lectures at the sites through a remote
lecturing system and e-Learning system.
(3) HSE Program Students
The master course students who entered the Graduate School of Engineering (three departments
related to global engineering) and are assigned to the Integrated Engineering Course, Human Security
Engineering Field (5 years course) can be admitted to HSE program.

Introduction to Advanced Material Science and Technology
Relay Lecture
1st term: Friday, 4th-5th
The various technologies used in the field of material science serve as bases for so-called "hightechnologies", and, in turn, the high technologies develop material science. These relate to each othervery closely and contribute to the development of modern industries. In this class, recent progresses
in material science are briefly introduced, along with selected current topics on new biomaterials,
nuclear engineering materials, new metal materials and natural raw materials. The methods of material
analysis and future developments in material science are also discussed.
