Vision

Create new materials and engineering technologies that
contribute to industrial development and
cultivate individuals who
make a difference to society

Materials. They play an important role in forming, molding, and advancing societies. They are responsible for the considerable transformations in our daily lives. After all, they are what give shape to science and technology. At the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we work to continuously progress the field of materials science. Our students are trained to use the advanced and specialized knowledge of materials they acquire to carry out original and challenging research and development. They learn to find creative solutions to materials-related problems on their own, and furthermore, to conceive of ways to implement these solutions in the real world. The curriculum is designed to allow students to acquire a broad range of fundamental knowledge in materials science, from metallic materials and organic materials to inorganic materials. Through our courses, students also gain the knowledge and develop the creativity necessary to bring new, innovative industrial materials into existence. Our students will become the leading scientists and engineers in the field of materials science that are sought by the industrial world.
