Educational and Research Objectives
At the College of Engineering and Information Technology, to foster engineers and information technologists 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. Furthermore, 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 abilities to understand social demands and diverse values, and to act independently in collaboration with others (coexistence with others).
- The basic academic abilities and cultural literacy required to acquire professional engineering and information technology education (learning to cultivate a rich cultural literacy).
- Systematic learning of specialized engineering and information technology knowledge and logical thinking methods (systematic learning of engineering and information technology knowledge).
- The abilities to identify and resolve issues through research and to take on the challenges of unexplored areas (development of creativity).
- Acquisition of cross-disciplinary knowledge and interdisciplinary thinking abilities (acquisition of knowledge across fields).
