Faculty of Engineering
The Faculty of Engineering was established in 1949, growing
out of the former Kobe Technical College, which was
originally established in 1921. Since then, the Faculty has
contributed to the development of modern industrial society
in the latter half of the 20th Century through its education
and research. The aim of the Faculty in the new millennium
is to educate future researchers and engineers to be able to
contribute to the welfare of humankind through cutting-edge
technologies.
The Faculty now has six departments: Architecture, Civil
Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Science and Engineering,
and Computer Science and Systems Engineering, each of which
consists of several divisions areas dedicated to the
specific purposes of education and research. Approximately
two-thirds of students continue on to Master's program for
higher education.
Graduate School of Engineering
Established in April 2007 as an educational and research
institute aimed at providing engineering knowledge,
fundamental and applied technologies directly related to a
symbiosis and sustainable development of society.
Departments in this Graduate School is arranged in a similar
way as the Faculty of Engineering to offer a consistent
educational system from undergraduate to graduate school.
The Graduate School of Engineering offers the following six
departments in both the Master's and Doctor's Degree
Program: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical
Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Systems
Engineering. By covering a wide range of interdisciplinary
academic fields (environment, nanomaterial, information and
telecommunication, life science, energy, robot, safety
etc.), these six departments will create new technologies
for the betterment of the society.
Master's Degree Program (MC)
The Graduate School of Engineering's education and research
is dedicated to cultivate human resources with a wide range
of knowledge in their specialized field, and
interdisciplinary perspectives. The school especially
focuses on fostering researchers and highly specialized
professionals who are rich in creativity, and possess
multifaceted perspectives. Students are granted a Master's
Degree in Engineering when they complete this program.
Doctoral Degree Program (DC)
Further developing and deepening of courses offered in the
Master's Degree Program. This program is to foster
researchers, academic members of higher education and
research institutions, and highly specialized professionals
who are highly creative, international-minded, and have an
excellent ability to establish, explore, and solve problems
by themselves. A Doctor's Degree, either a Dr. of
Engineering or a PhD will be granted upon completion of the
program. |
