Careers after Graduation

    Graduates will be able to find work in national and regional government offices and institutes, major construction companies and consultation firms.

Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Structural materials such as high-performance iron and steel materials and non-ferrous metals are well-known, but there are other materials, including metals with various capabilities such as shape-memory, super-conductivity, and magnetism, semi-conductors, magnetic materials, ceramics, amorphous materials, and high polymers. Moreover, compound materials, laminates and functionally gradient materials, etc., are constantly evolving.

This department studies a wide range of scientific and engineering technology, from the micro world of the atoms and molecules of which materials are composed to the macro world of space vehicles and airplanes, automobiles, electronic equipment, buildings, and bridges. The material sciences that form the foundation of all engineering are covered in a broad, interdisciplinary approach, and meticulous education that builds and develops various networks within engineering and original, advanced education and research are carried out.

Lectures, practical training, experiments, and graduation research, provide a thorough education fostering creative professionals with a broad outlook. Lectures cover the broad academic field of materials science, with close attention paid to enabling students to understand the basics of electronic states from atoms and molecules to the electronic states, structures, and various characteristics and functions of metals, various compounds, and organic materials. Graduates are employed in a wide range of industrial fields and actively make use of their ability to discover and solve problems as engineers and researchers in the areas of materials science, electricity and electronics, and science.

Careers after Graduation

    The field of Materials Science and Engineering is broad. Not only does it apply to all the engineering departments, but also to the Faculty of Science. Therefore, there is a broad range of jobs open to graduates such as in machinery, electronics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc.

Department of Applied Chemistry

The Department of Applied Chemistry is a comprehensive course in chemistry-related science and is composed of two research areas ― creative science and life science. The educational emphasis of the department is on training engineers and researchers needed in industry. Research conducted aims to clarify the essential qualities of matter through synthesis and measurement of physical properties with regard to chemicals in a broad range from inorganic matter and organic compounds to high polymers and biomolecules.
