Advanced Engineering Courses aims at giving higher education to graduate students, who build upon engineering skills and knowledge acquired throughout the five years of their departmental studies, in order to meet the needs from highly developing technological environment of the world.
Our advanced courses aim at educating students to be practical engineers, with skills and knowledge of technologies, communicative competences and engineering ethics.
Electric and Information System Engineering Course
Upon basic skills and knowledge of electric and information engineering acquired throughout the five-year departmental studies, students are trained to be competent engineers with flexible creativity and global points of view and capable of dealing with tasks of combined engineering fields.
Production System Engineering Course
Upon basic skills and knowledge of mechanical, electronic, architectural and bio engineering acquired throughout the five-year departmental studies, students are trained to be competent engineers capable of designing manufacturing technology project and contributing the development of local industry.
Through our curriculum, we aim to train and educate students to be:
A) engineers having acquired basic technological skills and knowledge applicable to society and industry.
B) engineers being able to develop human friendly system with wide rage of points of view and imagination.
C) "global" engineers having acquired essential communicative competence
D) engineers equipped with sociability, moral, and autonomy in problem-solving process
Advanced courses are set up separately in Kumamoto campus and Yatsushiro campus to contribute in complicated technological fields of modern society.
Advanced Course of Electronics and Information Systems Engineering
As essential knowledge on this course, comprehensive basic subjects such as Creative Production Technologies, Kansei Information Technologies, Engineering Ethics, etc., which are based on five-year education in each department, are arranged.
Parallel with these subjects, there are some required subjects; Technical English to make students interested in overseas research papers, Practice in Creation Skill Design to learn the basis of Engineering Design, and Special Studies for Systems to intend to improve their research and development abilities.
Moreover, as specialized elective subjects, we arrange some specialized basic subjects such as Digital Signal Processing, Material Engineering and Multimedia Technologies, which are basic to electronics, information or control technologies. As applied elective subjects, there is Electronics Communications Subjects, such as Electric Device Engineering or Topics in Network Technologies. And there is Information Control Subjects, such as Simulation Technologies or Robot Technologies.
In addition to the former JABEE-approved curriculum, we intend to improve practical skills, by Practice in Creation Skill Design and Internship, which are aimed at training engineering design, substantial elective subjects such as Acoustic System Enginnering or Topics in Network Technologies.
Production Systems Engineering Course
Students study required subjects including humane and social science, communication, mathematics and natural science, and basic engineering, as well as elective subjects of their majoring fields. They are expected to both develop various points of view and establishing their academic specialty.
In order to acquire skills and knowledge of interdisciplinary fields of engineering, a concept of PBL (Problem/Project Based Learning) is applied to some experiment subjects such as “Basic Industrial Measurement," or "Basic Engineering Seminar."
In addition to present JABEE accredited curriculum, the following subjects are supposed to open so as to develop higher level practical engineering skills:
1) "Socio-engineering" field subjects concerning global viewpoints, contribution to community, and industrial technology.
2) "Programs of students’ own initiative" including internship, development of students’ project designing ability.
3) "Research promoting” activity including cooperation with other institutions
