From Basic to Expert — A Series of Fascinating Lectures
Highly Acclaimed by Students
The curriculum is systematically designed based on the abovementioned three focuses and provides a series of intriguing lectures that are highly acclaimed by students. Rather than one-way, passive learning, each lecture offers students an interactive learning experience in which they take on more active roles in their education. Furthermore, students have opportunities to enhance their levels of knowledge through several exercises.

Extensive, More In-Depth Two-Year Experiment Courses
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering also places importance on creative manufacturing by conducting experiments in required courses. Students are required to take these courses in their second and third years, for three quarters each. Those in their second year will conduct basic experiments in the three focuses — metals, organic materials, and inorganic materials — and those in their third year will deepen their understanding of what they learned in major courses through more specialized experiments in one of the above three focuses, chosen by the students.
