Engineering (Graduate)

Policies

In the Master’s Program, students will acquire the qualities of a professional, highly qualified engineer who can contribute to the creation of next-generation industries and “new value” by acquiring advanced knowledge in specialized fields. This knowledge is essential for next-generation mechanical and electrical systems while also connecting those initiatives in other fields. In the Master’s Program, students focus on one of the 4 fields that constitute the field of mechanical and electrical systems engineering: “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems”.

Diploma Policy

For the “Master of Engineering” degree to be granted, Master’s Program students are required to study for the designated period, take subjects prescribed by the Master’s Program established in accordance with the Graduate School of Engineering Curriculum Policy, obtain the designated number of credits (34 credits), and pass a review and examination of their master’s thesis. The review and examination of their Master’s thesis will be based on whether students have achieved the following:

1. The student has acquired a deep knowledge while relating their own research to other fields, and can utilize this knowledge to solve problems in a global society while focusing on any of the fields of “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems”, within the scope of mechanical and electrical systems engineering.
2. The student is able to collect the necessary information on the research topic they have independently established using the appropriate methods, such as literature research and experiments, with a focus on any of the fields of “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems” which constitute the field of mechanical and electrical systems engineering. Then, they must use this information while correlating it with knowledge of other fields and logically, critically, and objectively analyzing the outcomes.
3. The student possesses a deep knowledge of the field of mechanical and electrical systems engineering and can discuss these topics with others in English.
4. The student can logically construct and express their own ideas through a multi-perspective approach utilizing the deep knowledge, skills, and experience acquired in any field of mechanical and electrical systems engineering.

Curriculum Policy

In order to develop graduates with the capabilities listed in the Diploma Policy, the educational program will be implemented based on the following policies:

1. This course aims to cultivate students’ ability to explore truth from various angles in relation to knowledge in other fields by allowing them to undertake core courses and advanced courses related to advanced specialization, mainly associated with either “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems” in mechanical and electrical systems engineering.
2. Students will be able to develop independent abilities to take action and solve problems based on expert knowledge through Advanced Exercise and Research Courses related to their research fields centered on the fields of “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems” which constitute mechanical and electrical systems engineering.
3. Students will undertake Scientific English Courses and develop their communication skills related to their specialized field, such as oral presentations in English, reading documents, writing papers, and critically evaluating papers.
4. In parallel with the undertaking of Scientific English Courses, core courses, and advanced courses for the development of specialized knowledge, students will learn in Advanced Exercise and Research Courses linked to the development of communication, collaboration, problem-finding, and leadership skills.

Curriculum Map and Subjects

Based on their academic achievements in their undergraduate studies, Master’s Program students will aim at achieving a high level of ethics, and expertise in one of the 4 fields of mechanical and electrical systems engineering: “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems”, and a broad understanding of the other 3 fields. Master’s Program courses are divided into 3 categories: “Specialized Courses”, “Scientific English Courses” and “Research Activity Courses “.

Policies

In the Doctoral Program, students focus on studying one of the 4 fields that constitute mechanical and electrical systems engineering: “Materials”, “Energy”, “Information”, or “Systems”. At the same time, they will deepen their knowledge of the other 3 fields, thereby broadening their understanding and increasing their high-level specialization as cross-disciplinary experts who possess exceptional problem-identifying abilities that take into account the trends of various academic fields and social needs. Through the creation of new concepts, these scholars will aim to become researchers who can contribute to the creation of next-generation industries and the creation of “new value”.
