Aims and Scopes:

This program aims to train “highly educated, internationalized engineers” having a wide spectrum of technical knowledge from fundamentals to their applications. Degree recipients in this program are expected to participate as leaders in international projects, such as overseas deployments by Japanese companies and development projects by international organizations, with creative and innovative manners in the related fields. This program consists of six special courses as fundamental disciplines in Sustainable Engineering aiming at the sustainable society and development as shown in the figure below. The student will be enrolled in a special course and educated in Integrated Doctoral Education Program, in which they are expected to study from Master's to Doctoral programs continuously for the both degrees.

Special Courses:

Six special courses fall into two groups: One focuses on the technology for infrastructure development, the other on the technology for industrial development as shown in the above figure. Each course consists of several departments, which are closely related to the objectives of the course. Departments involved in the six course are shown below.
