The school seeks individuals who demonstrate a heightened motivation to study and research advanced engineering theories and technologies (sustainable engineering) that can contribute to the construction of a sustainable society based on the basic philosophy of the University, and who aim to become practical professionals with advanced research skills through personal growth. Candidates will have acquired a broad knowledge, global thinking, they will possess a heightened sense of humanity, high ethical standards, and fertile creativity, and will be willing to work independently and proactively to contribute to technological progress and to the construction of a sustainable society.

The Department of Sustainable Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering emphasizes education and research to develop human resources capable of contributing to the improvement of the quality of life, the development of technology and a sustainable society in accordance with the basic philosophy of the University. The educational program is designed to develop human resources with broad knowledge who think globally, who demonstrate a heightened sense of humanity, high ethical standards, fertile creativity, advanced professional skills, advanced communication skills, logical thinking, analytical and evaluation skills, and problem-solving abilities. The educational program consists of a Master's program and a Doctoral program. Specifically, courses will be conducted and instruction given in accordance with the following policies.

• Department of Sustainable Engineering Master's Program
  In addition to building on bachelor's program studies and acquiring a wide range of specialized knowledge in the research fields of the student’s major, the curriculum is designed to facilitate cross-disciplinary studies allowing students to go beyond the limitations of the methodologies etc. used in the faculties at the bachelor's level, and acquire broader academic knowledge and more diverse skills.
  
  Through instruction on creative research and cross-disciplinary project research, students will be trained to become practical professionals with advanced research skills and the ability to promote creative research, present and explain research results and their significance, acquire advanced logical thinking, analysis and evaluation skills, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of ethics in academic research.
• Department of Sustainable Engineering Doctoral Course
  This program fosters researchers who, in addition to acquiring a broad range of specialized knowledge and skills in their field of research, possess the ability to discover problems for creative research, formulate research plans, promote their research, present and explain research results and their significance logically, and possess advanced analytical and evaluation skills, problem-solving abilities, and high ethical standards.
  
  The Department strives to nurture researchers capable of interdisciplinary thinking who can actively engage in research exchange and joint research with researchers in other fields. Finally, it aims to foster a pioneering spirit inspired by the ability to think globally to boldly take on the challenge of research in unexplored fields and cultivate the ability to critically and logically analyze and solve problems to determine whether the purpose and significance of research are in line with the basic principles of the University and whether it can contribute to the construction of a sustainable society.

• Department of Sustainable Engineering Master’s Program
