Materials Science and Engineering

Overview

Materials have always been playing an important role in human society. Going forward, the importance of materials in the social infrastructure technology continues to increase. In addition, along with the recent development of the advanced science field, the field of materials science and engineering is also becoming diversified and how we further enhance the high functionality of materials without creating any environmental load is considered a major issue. 

Key Features

Materials Science and Engineering course at Shibaura Institute of Technology aims to nurture engineers and researchers who have the abilities and skills to grasp the essence of problems by responding to the needs of society and social backgrounds, to invent in research methods for problem-solving, and to utilize specialized knowledge for practical development. 

Setting up these educational and human resourced development goals, this course will require students to acquire the following knowledge and skills:

• Learn the advanced knowledge and skills of materials science and engineering, and acquire skills to appropriately select and identify problems based on an attitude to explore issues within a wide area. 

• Systematically understand the advanced level of materials science and engineering, and enhance their experiment skills regarding the research methods for measuring and processing as an ability to solve problems and issues.

• Acquire the skills to find methods of solving social problems based on the advanced views of materials science and engineering as well as utilizing a range of insights and specialized knowledge in the actual society.

• Understand the relationship between advanced technologies, society and the environment, and also to acquire ethical ideas including the overall contribution of materials science and engineering and flexible thinking.
