<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat is the course of study (and how is it applied to society)?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cMaterials\u201d are the keystone of industry and bring innovation to society in a wide range of fields such as machinery, infrastructure facilities, electronic devices, and medicine. Materials\u201d can be divided into \u2018structural materials,\u2019 which are used to create shapes, and \u2018functional materials,\u2019 which are used for their physical or chemical characteristics. The course is designed for students who are interested in structural materials. In this course, a wide range of research is conducted in both the \u201cMetal Production Engineering\u201d field, which specializes in structural materials, and the \u201cFunctional Materials Culinary Engineering\u201d field, which specializes in functional materials, to solve various problems from the viewpoint of \u201cmaterials. The course trains students to become specialists who can solve various problems from the viewpoint of \u201cmaterials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By following a curriculum that systematically arranges subjects from basics to applications, students are trained to have a broad knowledge of \u201cmaterials\u201d and the ability to apply it. After being assigned to a laboratory, students can further specialize in new technologies necessary for a sustainable society, such as hydrogen energy technology and recycling, and new materials such as nanomagnetic materials and titanium, which will lead to the development of innovative medical technology. We will also focus on developing problem-solving skills and semiconductor-related expertise through the use of AI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Personnel who can evaluate and research and develop \u201cmaterials\u201d are needed in all occupations and fields. However, there are only a few universities that offer a comprehensive course of study in \u201cmaterials,\u201d and this course is one of the most valuable in the country. Graduates are expected to be active in a wide range of fields, including the steel industry and other materials fields, automobiles, machinery, infrastructure facilities, electrical and electronic devices, and medicine. Nearly half of the graduates go on to graduate school, where they are expected to acquire further specialized knowledge and work in more advanced occupations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
