◆International Program for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (IPISE)

1. Outline of the Program

This graduate program is designed to produce researchers and engineers capable of solving the highly technical and complex real-world problems relating to materials, the environment, and information, through science and engineering. The independent graduate school that offers this program emphasizes interdisciplinary and creative education and research. In pace with the progress of globalization, the program accepts students from all over the world - principally from developing countries - especially mature individuals with experience in solving problems overseas. The program offers these students a flexible and carefully designed course of education that can be finely customized according to their individual academic backgrounds and research interests, as well as the opportunity for exchange with Japanese students through tuition, and for internships with international research institutes and companies in Japan. The program is geared to producing innovative technologists equipped to tackle practical problems and to build multilateral international networks among them.

2. Course Descriptions

The IPISE has been established from 2007 in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Science and Engineering, which consists of 11 departments. In the IPISE, there are three advanced courses which are composed of the departments in the fields of Materials Science, Environment & Energy, and Information Systems. The enrolled student officially belongs to one of these 11 departments according to his/her supervisor, and learns under the curriculum offered by the department.

1. Advanced Course of Materials Science and Engineering

The course consists of the following 3 departments.

- Department of Innovated and Engineered Materials (IEM)*

- Department of Electronic Chemistry (ECHEM)*

- Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)*

*( ) is Department code used in IPISE lecture title.

The three departments in the Materials groups of the graduate school have been implementing two cross-disciplinary 21st Century Centers of Excellence Programs. These programs are at the forefront of research not only in Japan, but worldwide, in a wide range of fields, from basic research in the chemistry of organic, inorganic, metallic, and composite materials, to the development of high-performance materials. They aim to exploit the science and engineering of the near future, in particular future-oriented electronics, to contribute to the construction of a safe, secure, and sustainable society. It is necessary to pass the results of this materials research rapidly and efficiently to the international community. Also, due to the expected standardization and mobility of global-scale universities and graduate schools in the near future, pioneering work is vital in this field.

2. Advanced Course of Environmental and Energy Science and Engineering

The course consists of the following 4 departments.

- Department of Environmental Science and Technology (DEPE)*

- Department of Built Environment (ENVENG)*

- Department of Energy Sciences (DES)*

- Department of Environmental Chemistry and Engineering (CHEMENV)*

*( ) is Department code used in IPISE lecture title.

Science and technology is expected to make a contribution to the common global issues that must be addressed in order to construct a sustainable society - namely environmental problems, natural disaster threats, and energy problems. Because the nature of these problems, their conditions of occurrence, and the means for solving them vary from place to place, there is a vital need for innovative technologists who can conduct probing research into specific cases to seeks solutions. Positioning these highly individual phenomena into the generalized knowledge system of science is both extremely labor-intensive and time consuming. For this reason, compared with other more highly abstract fields of science, often the results of research efforts cannot be always be successfully applied. In this course, the technologists placed in this position are taken up as a major subject of study.

3. Advanced Course of Information Technology and System Sciences

The course consists of the following 4 departments.

- Department of Electronics and Applied Physics (E&AP)*

- Department of Mechano-Micro Engineering (MECMIC)*

- Department of Computational Intelligence and Systems Science (CISS)*

- Department of Information Processing (IP)*

*( ) is Department code used in IPISE lecture title.

The Information and Systems group is targeted at high achievers from leading universities in developing countries, or universities with which Tokyo Tech has cooperative agreements, and covers leading-edge, innovative, practical, and original fields of research in intelligent computing and data communications. The course aims to cultivate world-leading individuals who will promote exchange between Japan and international researchers and technologists when they return home after completing their studies.

3. Graduate Study Guide

The IPISE offers three types of study programs, namely, Integrated Doctoral Education Program(I), Master’s Program(M) and Doctoral Program(D).

The IPISE offers Integrated Doctoral Education Program(I), which is designed as a combined program continuing from Master’s Program to Doctoral Program. However, the 11 member departments of the IPISE, which belong to Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Science and Engineering (IGS), offer Master’s Programs(M) and Doctoral Programs(D) under the similar curricula as IPISE. Detailed explanation of each program together with requirement for degree conferred is as follows.

【98051】Practical Solution of Differential Equations, 2 Credits, Spring Semester

T. Ishikawa

We must solve many kinds of differential equations to understand and predict natural phenomena in the environment. Under the condition of practical problems in the environment, however, it is often difficult to obtain a strict solution of differential equations in an explicit form. On the other hand, purely numerical approach, which always gives individual solution under a specified condition, is not convenient to survey the total picture of the system’s response. In this lecture, the weighted residual method (WRM) and its derivatives are introduced to give an idea “how to obtain an approximate analytical solution” of given differential equation under practical conditions. It is also described that WRM is a general form of mathematics to understand connectedly a variety of mathematical techniques through the idea of orthogonality.

【94504】Special Lecture on Computational Intelligence and Systems Ⅳ, 1credit, Autumn Semester

Hideaki Ishii

→Foreign professors in the field of computational intelligence will make intensive lectures in English.

【94505】Special Lecture on Computational Intelligence and Systems Ⅴ, 1credit, Spring Semester

Toshiaki Murofushi

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and stochastic algorithms become indispensable when the objective function of interest is intractable. In this approach one designs an algorithm with a random source (also known as a Markov kernel) with an objective function, and runs the computation for a relatively long time. The knowledge of the rate of convergence may provide information necessary to decide the running time; however, such analysis is difficult or even impossible in practice. Recently, various techniques have emerged, that enable the use of such algorithms without any prior knowledge of convergence rates.

We begin our discussion with the review of Markov chains and random algorithms in a general setting, preparing the stage for the study of various implementations of stochastic algorithms. The course will cover the following three topics:

1. Introduction to Markov chains, ergodicity, and MCMC.

2. Introduction to various stochastic algorithms: Genetic algorithms and Bayesian networks.

3. Limitation of stochastic algorithms: No Free Lunch Theorem.

If time permits, we may explore other interesting issues related to random algorithms such as stochastic EM algorithms.

The lecture is given by Prof. Motoya Machida (Tennessee Technological University).
