(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 overseasinternship 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 are participating in this programand are responsible for training and research.
(2) Educational Policy
Our policy is intended for master and doctoral students to provide interdisciplinary and solid educationin 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 andengineers with the ability to apply their knowledge in an integrated manner toward ensuring urban humansecurity, as well as the ability to promote these technologies. Specifically, we aim to promote researchersand engineers who possess sophisticated creativity (in addition to having a wide range of knowledge, theability 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 tobuild 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 atthe overseas campuses to participate 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.

materials, new metal materials and natural raw materials. The methods of material analysis and future
developments in material science are also discussed.
Advanced Modern Science Technology
Relay Lecture
2nd term: Thu 5th
New materials are necessary for the advancement of high technologies, but in order to develop these newmaterials for practical applications, a number of problems must be solved. In this course, the problems
encountered in the fields of chemical engineering, electrical / electronic engineering, mechanicalengineering and civil engineering are discussed. Discussions are also held on natural resources, and how
computers are being used in the development of new materials. Lectures are given in English.
