Department of International Development Engineering [JDS Program (master) and International Graduate Program (Master/Doctor)]

1. Program Outline

The goal of the education in the department is to produce the engineers who can take the leadership in the sustainable development of the global society by utilizing the science and technology. The areas of their contributions include the industry, public works, information and communication technologies, and environment. Toward this goal, several unique components are integrated into the course: first, skills on project formulation and management are emphasized. In addition to the case method, the ongoing international development projects are used as the course materials for the analyses of the problems and their solutions. The skills provide the vision of the high level “problem solution” to the engineering students. Second, advanced knowledge in engineering fields is provided with the focus on the sustainable development. Third, internship and field work are provided as an elective course. Fourth, thesis writing provides an opportunity for the training to build the capacity as the engineer. The searching for solution for a specific development problem is emphasized in addition to technology itself. Therefore, a co-advisor from different engineering fields may be appointed on request.
The weights of the curricula in international development and the engineering are about 3:7.

International Graduate Program (C) on Global Values, Decision Making, and Culture

Master and Doctoral Program

Program description

This program targets interdisciplinary studies on global values, decision making, and culture. Solving the social problems in the 21st century requires appropriate understanding of global values and cultures in the world, and prominent ability on value judgment and decision making.
