PREPARING YOUNG TALENT TO BECOME NE X T-GENER ATION SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS IN GLOBAL COMMUNIT Y

A NEW ERA OF SCIENCE ANDTECHNOLOGY SERVING THE PEOPLE AND
THE PLANET
Students at the Faculty of Science and Technology of Sophia University are deeply immersed in their own
areas of study while freely interacting with other fields to develop a sensitivity, knowledge, and ability tointegrate these fields and move fluidly in thought between humanities and the sciences. The goal is to produce
graduates with “crossdisciplinary knowledge” that enables them to participate in unraveling the complex
problems challenging society today. The curriculum is grounded in the basics of science and technology
while keeping up with the innovations and increasing diversity of industrial technology, enabling students toacquire a crossdisciplinary knowledge that includes the knowledge and wisdom of caring for people and theenvironment. To be able to fully leverage this crossdisciplinary knowledge, the students must understandthe fundamentals of all areas of science and technology, and in order to be able to freely move between
fields, each one must build a firm foundation in her or his own area of study. Thus, each department has key
themes that indicate the scope of study and connect to the selection of a specialty. To build crossdisciplinary
knowledge, students must select courses of study from among the numerous fields that are classified bythese key themes and that are compatible with their primary field of interest. The small number of students
typical of this university gives students ample access to professors to discuss the selection of courses and to
decide the best path for their specialty.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
TOMOHARU SHIBUYA , Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology
This year marks the 12th anniversary of the establishment of the Green Science andGreen Engineering Courses in the Faculty of Science and Technology, Sophia
University. Because all subjects in both courses are taught in English, students canenroll in a variety of subjects including laboratory subjects and conduct undergraduate
research in English. The main appeal of these courses is small-group tutorials whereindividual students can receive detailed instructions from mentors. In science and engineering
departments in Japanese universities, there are few degree-granting science and technology courses that offer subjects
only in English. For this reason, both courses have attracted a large number of students from many countries andregions around the world.
In the Green Science Course, students learn the basics of chemistry, applied chemistry, physics, and biology as outlinedin the curriculum of the Department of Materials and Life Sciences. In the Green Engineering Course, students learn
the basics of physics, mechanical engineering, and electrical/electronic engineering as detailed in the curriculum of theDepartment of Engineering and Applied Sciences. In the first and second years of both courses, students study extensively
basic subjects in science and engineering to acquire the academic skills necessary to learn specialized subjects. Eachcourse provides specialized subjects tailored to students’ future career plans, with some offered even in the second year.
Students take mainly specialized subjects in their third year and receive specific guidance for undergraduate researchfrom the laboratory advisor in their fourth year. On top of these, graduate programs in the Green Science and Engineering
Division, which are offered only in English and lead to master’s and doctoral degrees, are also available in the Graduate
School of Science and Technology, enabling students to equip themselves with even higher expertise.
Students who wish to learn in Japanese have several opportunities to do so. Students can learn with Japanese-course
students when they enroll in laboratory subjects or conduct undergraduate research, which can lead to deepening
exchanges with Japanese-course students. In addition, as most faculties are located in the Yotsuya Campus, active
interaction among students from different faculties or departments is possible, allowing students to experience Japaneseculture and daily campus life firsthand.
We at Sophia University’s Faculty of Science and Engineering have prepared a comprehensive curriculum and anexciting learning environment for students from abroad. Both the faculty and the Japanese-course students eagerly lookforward to having you with us.

TECHNOLOGYPROGRAMPROGRAM FEATURES
INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCEAND TECHNOLOGY
To meet the diverse needs of internationalization, the faculty added two new programs taught entirely in English
as part of its regular curriculum in September 2012. The Green Science Program offered by the Departmentof Materials and Life Sciences and the Green Engineering Program offered by the Department of Engineeringand Applied Sciences each has an enrollment capacity of 25 students. Students enrolled in those programs arerequired to complete all classes, take examinations, submit reports, undergo research guidance, and submit theirundergraduate thesis in English.
“GREEN SCIENCE” program, offered by Department ofMaterials and Life Sciences, is designed to acquire fundamental
knowledge of substances, and to overcome environmental
issues at the atomic and molecular levels based on green
material sciences.

“GREEN ENGINEERING” program, offered by Departmentof Engineering and Applied Sciences, is designed to learn
electrical and mechanical engineering skills to help develop
energy conservation technology, efficient power generation anddistribution and power transmission.

CU R R I CU L U M＊There is a possibility that the English-taught programs will be reorganized starting in the 2024 academic year.

M ES S A G E
FROM TEACHING STAFF
JIRO KONDO Professor (Class Advisor of Green Science)
Today, the ability to combine knowledge and skills from different
disciplines to generate new ideas and results is increasingly required.
For example, in the drug discovery research in which I am involved,
chemistry knowledge and techniques are essential for synthesizing
drugs, but life science experiments are necessary to confirm theirefficacies, and physics research methods are needed to understandthe interaction between drugs and their target molecules. Furthermore,computer science, artificial intelligence, and mathematical statistics
are actively used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. The GreenScience Program focuses on fostering human resources who can create
new value by combining knowledge and skills from different disciplines.
In small classes made up of students from diverse backgrounds, youcan learn both basic and advanced knowledge and skills from faculty
members who are experts in their respective fields.

TADASHI ADACHI Professor (Class Advisor of Green Engineering)
Address the environmental issues confronting humanity and achieve
the SDGs. Many of you are aware of this. Among many ways
to achieve, in our Green Engineering course, students can learn
the fundamentals of creating new science and technology that iscompatible with the environment, based on physics, mechanicalengineering, and electrical and electronics engineering. For example,
students can learn from the basics to applications, such as research on

the synthesis of new materials in which Japan excels and research to
improve energy efficiency and environmental performance. In addition,Sophia University, one of Japan’s leading international universities, isthe place where you can not only gain scientific knowledge but develop
cultural literacy as well. When you graduate, your knowledge and skills
will be boosted overall, and you will be equipped with a solid foundation
to become a global leader.

TAD GONSALVES Professor (Teaching courses in Artificial Intelligence and programming)
Our Science & Technology Faculty is constantly renewing the curriculumin keeping pace with the challenging Data Science & AI revolution.
Even non-science students are encouraged to learn data analysisand programming. Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, andProgramming courses in the Green Science curriculum will provide
the students with cutting-edge data analysis and programming skills
necessary to survive in the ICT revolution and carve a successful career.
AI and machine algorithms used in visual perception, speech

recognition, decision-making, and language translation are making
great progress day by day. However, these algorithms, trained on vast
amounts of data to make predictions, require large-scale computing
resources, and consume massive amount of electrical power to deliver
results. We are far from developing a green computing technology.
Students from the Green Science & Engineering Program will find it achallenge to think over this problem and contribute towards creating agreener computing environment.

FROM STUDENTS
GIULI NAGAI Student (Green Science Program)
In addition to the privileged location at the heart of Tokyo, my decision toenroll at Sophia University was driven by the Green Science program’sinterdisciplinary curriculum and the diverse international atmosphere oncampus. I really enjoy the small class sizes, the professors’ captivating
enthusiasm for their respective fields, and the overall comprehensive
education where students obtain a solid understanding of mathematics,physics, biology, chemistry, and informatics, all viewed throughthe lenses of environmental studies and sustainability. Beyond theacademic setting, Sophia University provides an extensive range ofextracurricular activities that enhances the campus life experience byproviding opportunities to apply classroom knowledge and develop
a plethora of soft skills through collaboration and engagement withother university departments, such as FLA and SPSF. Having organizednumerous sustainability awareness events on campus and initiating mythesis research on the impact of environmental regulations on carbon
emissions, I believe that students genuinely experience the freedom topursue their individual interests within the program. Once I graduate,I hope to move back to the United Stated to pursue a Master inEnvironmental Management to refine my potential to make meaningful
impact in the field of environmental sustainability.

HAO CHENQI Student (Green Engineering Program)
Choosing Sophia University was in a sense a coincidence. I was selected
as a volunteer for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. During the orientation
session in Tokyo, I accidentally came to the vicinity of Sophia University
and learned about it for the first time. Later, due to the outbreak of theepidemic, the plan was changed by going to Japan where it is closer
to homeland. Naturally, Sohpia was taken into consideration. Later, I
found out that Sophia provided a wide range of science and engineeringcourses, which were very suitable for my needs, so I came to Sophia.
The campus of Sophia University is located in the core area of Tokyo,
adjacent to the royal garden. Although the campus is relatively small, itis fully functional and can meet the needs of students.

After graduation, I plan to continue my master's studies. The current
plan is to travel to Europe to continue research in the field of aerospaceengineering. But at the same time, I will also try to find some jobs that I
am interested in.
The Green Engineering course offers a wide range of course andresearch options, allowing students to try more in the first two years ofcollege to determine their true interests. The school also allows third oreven second year students to participate in laboratory research trials
to learn the skills required for engineering research in advance. Inaddition, due to being taught entirely in English, graduates will also havecompetitiveness, whether in Japan or continuing to study abroad.
