Our goal is to produce individuals with engineering design abilities — the abilities to solve the various problems that confront humankind and to contribute to the creation of new technologies, values, and concepts sought by society. Along with this, these individuals will be cultivated to possess comprehensive understanding of science and technology and to work persistently to push back existing constraints.

In the Master's Program, we cultivate individuals who have the basic abilities necessary to identify and formulate problems in complex situations in the real world and have the knowledge and skills necessary to express, criticize, and frame thoughts and ideas related to engineering design.

The curriculum is structured to allow students to acquire knowledge and skills of engineering design and learn the methodologies to integrate them by building on the fundamental knowledge of each field of engineering gained in the Undergraduate Program. It enables students to develop their abilities to contribute to the creation of new technologies, values, and concepts, as well as their communication and management skills. Specifically, it consists of three course category groups: those for learning practical engineering design (Practical Design Thinking and Off-Campus Project ); those for selectively learning design-related fields according to students' personal interests (Design Theory, Design of Artificial Objects, Social System Design, and Human-Environment System Design ); and those for cultivating research capabilities (Research Seminars).
