The Regular Course modules consist of common subjects in the Faculty of Liberal Studies and specialized subjects in six different departments, i.e., Departments of Information, Communication and Electronic Engineering, Control and Information Systems Engineering, Human-Oriented Information Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, Architecture and Civil Engineering and of Biological and Chemical Systems Engineering. In these Departments, link between fused and combined engineering is designed and further developed to strengthen our competence of engineering design and to enhance our educational foundations, which aim at harmonizing human community and natural environment. We aim at educating an engineer with practical and creative skills competent enough to be desired across the globe.

An exemplary role model at the Regular Courses is as shown below.

1. An engineer capable of communication both in Japanese and English.
2. An engineer equipped with fundamental ICT techniques and relevant applied knowledge towards engineering.
3. An engineer equipped with knowledge and skills of fundamental technology in relevant areas as well as those on specialized technique in the area, which make the engineer skillful enough to solve problems with methods of integrative thinking.
4. An engineer having well-balanced characters of spirit, mind and body as well as social wellbeing and cooperative personality.
5. An engineer with broad views and high sense of ethics upon engineering.
6. An engineer who has intellectual curiosity, and is capable of challenging topics, subjects, tasks and problems with aggressiveness and creativity.

Education Program at Advanced Courses

Our two JABEE-accredited advanced programs, Electronics and Information Engineering and Production Systems Engineering, aim at giving higher education to graduates, who build upon engineering skills and knowledge acquired throughout the five years of their departmental studies, in order to meet the needs of the highly developing technological environment of the world.
