Faculty of Engineering (Yokohama Campus)
The educational mission of this faculty is to train engineers who can develop and utilize the products of engineering to create a better environment for both human society and the natural world. To achieve this, students are provided with deep specialized knowledge as well as a broad-based general education that permit them to make autonomous, practical contributions to society.
Department of Mechanical Engineering
As one of the fundamental fields of engineering, the discipline of mechanical engineering is undergoing rapid new development in many advanced fields, including the automotive and robotics industries, micromachines, energy/environment, and medical engineering. This department provides students with training in the design, production, operation and control of machines that form the basis for manufacturing. Through the study of mathematics and physics, they learn the basics of machine design and manufacture and gain an understanding of materials, processes, mechanics, and other fields. Their graduation projects foster an ability to develop, propose and implement plans.
Department of Electronics and Informatics Frontier
This department trains engineers working in frontier fields, where revolutionary new products and services are being created through the fusion of electrical and electronic technologies, as well as information and intelligence technologies. Students develop the basic academic ability and practical sensibility necessary to continually respond to emerging technologies, so that they can develop and utilize innovative technologies that tie together multiple fields in a manufacturing context.
Department of Material and Life Chemistry
Students in this department study life processes and vital functions, which provide the foundation for the use of chemistry in the creation of environmentally friendly functional materials and the development of new chemical technologies. Comprised of three fields (Materials and Nanoscience; Vital Functions; and Environment and Energy) the department provides a far-ranging educational program covering various research themes, including catalysts, functional polymers, pharmaceuticals, biomass, and new energy.
Department of Information Systems Creation
This department offers educational and research programs that combine the humanities and sciences with the aim of creating information systems that connect people with society and industry. In the Information Systems Creation Course, students are exposed to the latest engineering technologies so that they can become engineers with the intellectual, expressive, and developmental capacity necessary to develop information systems. The Industrial Engineering and Management Course trains administrative and managerial engineers who work with manufacturing technologies.
Department of Architecture
Students in this department acquire the architectural technologies that create ideal relationships between people, space, and the environment. They graduate as specialists in a wide range of architectural fields, including conceptual and structural design; facility design; construction; and management. The department is divided into the following three courses: Architectural Environment, which focuses on the science and engineering aspects of the environment and facilities; Architectural Structure, which focuses on structural theories, construction methods, disaster prevention, and other concerns; and Architectural Design, which concentrates on drafting skills for architectural and city planning.
