Our Advanced Engineering Course aims to nurture, through our two-year engineering education of graduates mainly from colleges of technology, highly educated practical professional engineers full of creativity, diversity, interdisciplinary skills and internationalism who have the ability of playing a leading role in the 21st century age of highly advanced science, technology and information. Our college has three courses: the Advanced Production and Information Systems Engineering Course, which is closely related to mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronics and information engineering; the Advanced Chemical Science and Engineering Course, which is closely related to chemical science and engineering, and biological engineering; and the Advanced Architecture Course.

　Students who have passed through one of these courses are at the same time able to receive a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the National Institution for Academic Degrees.

Advanced Production and Information Systems Engineering Course

　The aim of this course is to foster an understanding of basic subjects and research approaches in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and electronics, and information engineering, thereby enhancing the research capability of students in these fields that are closely related to each other in recent technology. This course also aims to provide an opportunity for students to understand the interdisciplinary implications of their research, through experimental studies and interdisciplinary collaborations with universities and companies.

　In this advanced engineering course, you will aim to further pursue the academic fields you have already studied in the five-year regular course. In addition, with a view to broadening your horizons, you should have a deeper understanding of technical engineering in general. The students who enter this advanced engineering course are expected:

1)To be motivated to explore their own disciplines after having studied one of the following three fields: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and electronics and information engineering.

2) To be interested in studying various fields of engineering and interdisciplinary academic areas as well.

3) To be motivated to independently plan and pursue their projects within their academic scope, to be willing to make efforts to acquire real-world knowledge.

Educational Purposes

1) To develop practical engineers equipped with critical thinking skills that they can apply to high technology, global energy problems and environmental problems.

2) To develop practical engineers with interdisciplinary knowledge who studied technical subjects in the fields of mechanical, electrical and information engineering, based on fundamental knowledge in these fields in a five-year regular course.

3) To develop practical engineers equipped with high professional ethics, a wide view, and international mind.

Advanced Chemical Science and Engineering Course

　In this advanced course, based on the fundamental knowledge received in the five-year curriculum, students will study highly advanced knowledge and expertise sufficient to deal with the progress of chemical technology and biotechnology. This course also aims to educate students to be chemical engineers with highly creative and analytic abilities and a wide range of interdisciplinary knowledge.

　In this advanced course based on the fundamental knowledge acquired in the five-year regular course, students will aim to become engineers with highly-developed knowledge and skills to keep up with the progress of chemical technology and biotechnology. The students who enter this advanced engineering course are expected:

1) To be equipped with basic knowledge of natural science including chemistry and biology, and be able to apply it to phenomena in daily life.

2) To be motivated to acquire extensive expertise of interdisciplinary fields, ingenuity, and analytic ability.

3) To be equipped with a global vision and a high ethical sense.

Educational Purposes

1) To develop practical and innovative engineers with knowledge and skills in chemical engineering and biotechnology to be applied to development and production of chemical, materials, foods and medicine.

2) To develop practical engineers who can produce goods that conserve the natural environment, using basic and technical expertise and a wide range of interdisciplinary knowledge.

3) To develop practical engineers with an international mind and the ability to adequately grasp market needs and technical “seeds” in industrial production activities.

Advanced Architecture Course

　The curriculum provides the students either of Planning and Environment of Architecture or of Structural Engineering and Production of Architecture with the subjects on advanced practical technology based on the basic knowledge acquired during the regular five-year course of Kosen. It also provides the opportunities for students to obtain wide interdisciplinary knowledge in advanced classes to train their ability to think logically and to obtain practical knowledge of technology through research, entry in design competitions, and training at companies. This will enable students to become proficient engineers with wide interdisciplinary and expert knowledge, and ability to create.

　In this advanced course, based on the general and discipline-specific knowledge acquired during the five-year regular course, students will aim to become architectural engineers with high creativity and practical skills. The students who enter this advanced course are expected:

1) To be motivated to create superior and comfortable living spaces.

2) To have acquired basic knowledge of planning, structure and facilities in architecture.

3) To be interested in acquiring extensive interdisciplinary expertise and skills through design exercises, experiments and laboratory studies.

Educational Purposes

1) To develop students who have highly developed practical skills focusing on either planning / environment or structure / production.

2) To develop students who have the critical thinking and practical skills necessary to understand and solve diverse problems in architectural fields.

3) To develop students who have the qualities required to deal with issues within architecture and its related fields.
