School of / Graduate School of Creative Science and Engineering

To create prosperity based on diverse human values, the School of Creative Science and Engineering offers education for the real world, tackling advanced research related to recycling systems technology and the technology used to create new spaces, devices, and communities that support human activity in harmony with the global environment. Based on this concept, the School of Creative Science and Engineering will promote the autonomy and development of various fields, foster ties between science and engineering, and fuse different fields to create new modes of education, new research frameworks, and new academic fields. It will also step up its involvement in overseas projects in pursuit of advanced research topics and to nurture individuals with an international outlook.

Architecture	Modern Mechanical Engineering		Industrial and Management Systems Engineering
Students will acquire a broad-based knowledge of architecture by studying the history of architecture, examples of architecture, urban design, and construction methods. The program enables students to develop practical skills through design-related practice and to master specialized knowledge through experiments and vocational experience related to civil engineering.	Students will learn how technology can be used to help society. To develop the capacity of students to contribute to society, the curriculum is based on interdisciplinary fields, including design, joint research projects, robotics, medical and welfare services, the environment, and energy.		The discipline of management systems engineering integrates areas such as mathematical engineering, systems engineering, information technology, and human factor technology. The goal of the curriculum is to equip students with the capacity to solve a broad range of systems-related problems within organizations of various types by applying the methods of management systems engineering.
Civil and Environmental Engineering		Resources and Environmental Engineering
The field of civil and environmental engineering has strong links to the environment, nature, and daily life. This course of study provides students with the special knowledge and engineering skills needed to develop land in harmony with nature and to build and maintain facilities that are vital to a civilized society.		Students will study disciplines and technologies related to the development and use of resources, environmental problems, natural disaster prediction and prevention, resource recycling, and waste disposal policies. The goal is to produce individuals capable of developing man-made resource-recycling systems in harmony with the natural environment.
The following two programs have been established to provide the background education and training required by scientists and engineers pursuing research in highly specialized fields to students of the School of Fundamental Science and Engineering, School of Creative Science and Engineering, and School of Advanced Science and Engineering. Students enroll in these programs from the second half of the third year of undergraduate programs.
Division of Intellectual Assets and Socio-Industrial Policies		Division of Intercultural Studies
Student will acquire the knowledge needed by capable engineers and researchers by examining social and policy issues that shape science and technology, intellectual property applications and protection (including the study of patents and design rights), and the planning of intellectual property policies and strategies.		Students will study foreign languages while researching the characteristics and cultures of the regions where they are spoken, thereby acquiring the capacity to take a broad perspective and learning how to express their own ideas - both key skills for any engineer or researcher wishing to make an impact on the global stage.

Based on three key words (human, lifestyles, and environment), the School of Creative Science and Engineering seeks to apply science and technology to solve various social problems and to generate new affluence, based on a broad range of values. To achieve these goals, the School’s five departments, Modern Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Management and Systems Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Resources and Environmental Engineering, work together closely in providing education and conducting research. To equip students with the capacity to create, devise, analyze, and apply needed as engineers and research scientists, the School emphasizes a hands-on approach in which students acquire practical skills and undertake actual research. Examples include the use of project-based learning, a methodology that gives students the opportunity to engage with real-world problems. The School also promotes internships and joint projects with industry for students to gain experience outside of academia. Straddling the School’s five departments are two special divisions of study, the Division of Intellectual Assets and Socio-Industrial Policies and the Division of Intercultural Studies, which provide general knowledge and understanding required by technical specialists at the highest levels by delivering a common program of study to students of all three Schools (Fundamental, Creative, and Advanced Science and Engineering)

The objective of the Graduate School of Creative Science and Engineering is to produce individuals with specialized knowledge and skills capable of creating new technologies and values in the coming era. The School offers six programs: Architecture; Modern Mechanical Engineering; Industrial and Management Systems Engineering; Business Design and Management; Civil and Environmental Engineering; and Earth Sciences, Resources and Environmental Engineering. Students engage in research based on a core engineering ethic that emphasizes both contribution to society and conservation of the global environment. In addition to pursuing advanced study of specialized topics, students take courses common to all six programs of study.
In this way, students receive an education that equips them with the ability to generate fresh ideas based on broad perspectives, advance science and engineering, and put knowledege to practical use. To help students develop into better engineers and researchers, the Graduate School also emphasizes training in high-level communication skills and an all-round liberal arts education.
