Education

Course Features

With the sophistication and depth of recent advanced science and technology, the importance of the fundamentals for materials has been rediscovered, requiring education and research that surpasses the existing framework of science and engineering. Additionally there is a need to cultivate human resources who can overview this widespread area and can play an important role in materials science. One of the main features of the Applied Chemistry course is that it covers chemistry from the basics (scientific fields) to its applications (engineering fields). Another feature is that it has traditionally addressed the array of environmental and energy problems as part of its heritage. We support students who have the desire to participate in society with chemistry and chemical technology as their base.


What kind of human resources are we training

We are cultivating human resources who have the ability to analyze phenomena with a broad perspective in “chemical matter” and “chemical processes”, and who can strive to balance environment and technology with a wide view.

Curriculum Features

In the first and second years students take classes with an emphasis on the fundamentals required in scientific fields. In addition to the Fundamental Education Courses, students are trained in a fundamental knowledge of organic matter, inorganic materials, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, etc. As students proceed through the years, they take progressively more specialized classes, and in the fourth year students undertake a graduation research project. Through these curricula we cultivate the next generation of engineers and academics who possess the fundamentals of material science and highly specialized skills.
