Engineering
Flexible learning made possible by the program system will create the human resources needed for the society of the future.
Professor Yoshiharu Kariya
Dean, College of Engineering
The College of Engineering is introducing a program system that enables students to acquire knowledge across multiple fields centered on the major course of study in which they are enrolled, instead of the conventional department system in which students focus on a single specialty.
This program system allows students to flexibly acquire a wide range of specialized knowledge, making the most of the characteristics of the College of Engineering, which has five programs and nine courses covering almost all technical fields of engineering.
In addition, by conducting two years of graduation thesis project, which is important for practical learning, from the third year, we train students to become engineers who can solve the increasingly complex social issues facing modern society.
Engineering has led to various social changes in the past and has the power to change society. By considering engineering as a career path now, you will begin to change society toward the achievement of sustainable goals. You will make a difference.

Characteristics of the College of Engineering
Nurturing engineers to open up a new era
The College of Engineering at Shibaura Institute of Technology, based on its founding spirit, has developed specialized field education through a department system in order to support Japan as a technological powerhouse, produced outstanding graduates, and earned a high reputation in the industrial world. However, in modern society, as a result of changes in the industrial structure and the increasing complexity of social issues, the ability to utilize expertise across multiple fields, not just in traditional fields of specialization, is required. In order to respond to the changing times, the College of Engineering, under its new educational system based on a program system, will foster engineers who can open up a new era founded on the three pillars of cross-disciplinary education, practical education based on research, and human resource education through problem discovery and solution.
Wide-ranging learning that transcends the boundaries of disciplines and a two-year graduation thesis project that links this learning to practical application
The College of Engineering is characterized by three key features: interdisciplinary study transcending disciplinary boundaries, a minor course certification system, and a two-year graduation thesis project that begins in the third year.
- Interdisciplinary study transcending disciplinary boundaries and a minor course certification system
Students enroll in one of the nine courses covering almost all technical fields of engineering and build a foundation as an engineer in their chosen course. In addition to their own course of study, students can freely select lectures from a variety of specialized courses (field-specific course groups) offered by each course in the College of Engineering according to their own needs, and acquire the cross-disciplinary knowledge required for future engineers. Students can receive certification of completion of the minor course if they complete the field-specific course groups offered by each course under certain conditions. This accreditation is proof of a high level of expertise in the major field of the course to which the student belongs, as well as the ability to combine knowledge of other majors, and will encourage the student to become an engineer after graduation. - Two-year graduation thesis project from the third year
Students will be engaged in graduation thesis project for two years from their third year, and will develop the ability to put the knowledge acquired in lectures into practice in problem-solving. By conducting meticulous research for two years, students will come to recognize the necessity of specialized subjects related to their own research and will be able to study advanced specialized subjects with 欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】 interest than before. During the two years of graduation thesis project, there is a unique system called “research exchange on campus” through which students can research for half a year in laboratories of other programs and courses. Through this system, students will be able to deeply learn cross-disciplinary knowledge in a practical setting, expand their network of contacts in other fields, and improve their qualifications and abilities as an engineer. If students go on to graduate school, they will be able to learn 欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】 advanced techniques based on the wealth of knowledge gained from their graduation thesis project, broadening their future career options.

College of Engineering “Education and Research Objectives” and “Three Policies”
At the College of Engineering, to foster engineers who identify and resolve the diverse issues facing contemporary society themselves, in addition to high-level expertise in each specialized field founded on solid basic academic abilities, we cultivate interdisciplinary thinking skills through new educational programs where students can learn across the various specialties within the College of Engineering. Further欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】, in addition to the cross-sectional knowledge acquired, we enhance problem-solving abilities through practical education centered on research, cultivate the ability to grasp the essence of diverse problems and solve them with an interdisciplinary approach, and foster highly creative engineers who can contribute to the development of a sustainable society with diverse values and high ethical standards. Specifically, the objectives of education and research are to foster human resources with the following abilities by the time they graduate.
- ?The basic academic abilities and cultural literacy required to acquire professional engineering education (learning to cultivate a rich cultural literacy).
- ?Systematic learning of specialized engineering knowledge and logical thinking methods (systematic learning of engineering knowledge).
- ?Acquisition of cross-disciplinary knowledge and interdisciplinary thinking abilities (acquisition of knowledge across fields).
- ?The abilities to identify and resolve issues through research and to take on the challenges of unexplored areas (development of creativity).
- ?The abilities to understand social demands and diverse values, and to act independently in collaboration with others (coexistence with others).
The College of Engineering nurtures highly creative human resources with high-level expertise founded on solid basic academic abilities who contribute to the development of a sustainable society by identifying and resolving the various issues facing society. Diplomas are awarded to students who attain the following abilities and fulfill the graduation requirements.
- 1. The foundations for a rich character, basic academic abilities, and the abilities to identify issues themselves and collaborate with others while communicating effectively.
- 2. Systematic understanding of the essence of engineering, and the abilities to approach the core of issues and derive ways to resolve them through diverse methods using cross-disciplinary knowledge.
- 3. The ability to act as scientists and engineers with awareness of social diversity and high ethical standards through practical education centered on engineering education and research.
The College of Engineering provides education based on the following curriculum outline, implementation of educational content and methods, and assessment of academic achievement in order for students to gain the abilities listed in the diploma policy.
Curriculum Outline
The curriculum is divided into “general education” and “specialized subjects,” and the subjects are arranged as follows so students can systematically learn engineering.
The “general education subjects” comprise basic mathematics, English, information, humanities and social science liberal arts, physical education and health, and College of Engineering common general subjects. The “specialized subjects” comprise College of Engineering common specialized subjects, subjects in the major course of study, and subjects in other courses of study.
Implementation of educational content and methods
- ?We provide high-quality classes in each subject so that students can acquire the basic capabilities required as engineers.
- ?We cultivate the basic academic abilities, cultural literacy, and ethical standards required to acquire professional engineering education through basic mathematics, English, information, and humanities and social science liberal arts subjects. We nurture the abilities to understand social needs and diverse values, collaborate with others, and act independently through physical education and health subjects, and College of Engineering common general subjects.
- ?In “specialized subjects,” students systematically learn specialized engineering knowledge and logical thinking methods. These subjects also provide practical education centered on research to nurture highly creative engineers who can take on the challenges of unexplored areas and identify and resolve the various issues facing society themselves in collaboration with others while recognizing social diversity.
- ?To cultivate interdisciplinary thinking abilities upon acquiring knowledge in multiple fields, students learn the cross-disciplinary knowledge required as engineers. Specifically, in addition to specialized subjects in their major course of study, students can take specialized subjects in other courses of study.
