The Department of Applied Science and Engineering cultivates imaginative individuals who can respond to changes in society through education and research in “Science x Technology”.
New technologies that support society are developed through both “science,” which is the understanding of the principles of nature and matter, and “technology,” which is the implementation of these principles in society.
In today’s rapidly changing society, the demands for new technology development are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated. In order to acquire the ability to respond to changes that will continue to occur in the future, it is important to acquire the ability to see the essence of things through extensive study of “science” such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and through “technology” as an applied and creative ability, to develop the ability to challenge unexplored fields that are not bound by existing academic fields. It is important to cultivate the ability to take on challenges in unexplored fields that are not bound by existing academic fields.
In the Applied Science and Engineering, students study a wide range of basic natural sciences in their first and second year in order to cultivate the ability to see the essence of things. Then, in the third and fourth years, students choose a specialized field (main major) that suits them best and begin to study applied “technology” within that field.
The Department of Applied Science and Engineering offers a wide range of majors for education and research in “Science x Technology
For the main major,
- Applied Physics” to explore cutting-edge measurements
- Electronics and Quantum Engineering” to open up the future of nanotechnology
- Research on materials with new functions “Physical Properties Engineering
- Materials and Molecular Engineering” to create new materials from a molecular standpoint
In the fourth year, students are assigned to a laboratory in each department to conduct graduation research on advanced science and technology, taking on the challenge of unexplored “science x technology”.
Each department of the School of Applied Science and Engineering has faculty members in a variety of fields, and there is active collaboration between departments, allowing students to freely choose the field that best suits their interests and to engage in research across multiple fields.
This unique structure enables cross-disciplinary “science x technology” education and research that is not bound by conventional frameworks such as science, engineering, physics, chemistry, or biology.
This enables us to cultivate the applied skills, creativity, and flexibility required in a rapidly changing society.
