APPROACH DIRECTED TOWARD CREATING A BETTER SOCIETY FROM THE FIELD OF SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY
The School of Industrial Engineering offers original, hands-on education that is compatible with "product designing" and "environmental issues." In particular, the Department of Environment Conservation Science of this School engages in a study of regional environmental issues from various scientific viewpoints through observation of the environment using balloons and artificial satellites. As a common subject, this School provides a "hands-on environment workshop" for actually examining the water quality of River Shirakawa. One of the features of this School's curriculums (including that of three other departments) is that they are designed to increase the awareness of all students towards the environment so that these students incorporate considerations for the environment in each product they design. This unique hands-on education is provided at the Kumamoto Campus that has both an abundance of nature and an excellent living environment amid the advance of urbanization and industrialization.
Department of Environment Conservation Sciences
This Department sets out to foster human resources who will be responsible for conservation and the creation of the environment, as well as the observation technology needed to develop the future environment.
Environmental Conservation Course
The Environmental Conservation Course examines the systems, social trends, and the engineering technology needed for environmental conservation.
Environment Observation Course
The Environment Observation Course covers the theory and technology related to the measurements and observations needed for environmental conservation.
Department of Electronics and Intelligent Systems Engineering
The Department of Electronics and Intelligent Systems Engineering nurtures IT engineers who are sensitive towards the changes in society brought about by the progress of computerization and who can design, develop, and operate/manage information systems that can support an advanced information society. In this curriculum, the students are educated in a wide range of fields including network, multimedia, human information processing, and embedded software technologies after they have learned the basic subjects related to software and hardware.
Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering
This Department will produce the human resources who will be leaders in mechanical areas such as automobiles, robotics, etc.
Automobile Course
The Automobile Course will examine the structure of precision machines, the computer-aided design of automobiles, etc. in addition to automobile engineering and service technology.
Robotics Course
The Robotics Course will attach more importance to those fields that use electronics and control, so as to examine the mechatronics that fuse mechanical engineering with automatic control, etc.
Department of Architecture
This Department sets out to produce graduates with high-level architectural skills while having the ability to produce images of architectural space.
Architectural Design Course
In the Architectural Design Course, students examine the technical skills related to design and the production of an image of an architectural space, needed to become an architect or interior designer.
Architecture Course
In the Architecture Course, students study engineering knowledge and practical technology such as building structures, materials, and the equipment, etc. required of an architectural engineer.
