Program System and Curriculum

The Division employs a program system and curriculums. Seven programs are mutually linked.
Cross-sectional and organic unification of these programs enables us to organize projects that meet various social requirements.
Students select a major program and a sub program.
After completing the major program, they participate in a research project and incorporate the results into a master's thesis and a doctoral thesis.
This enables them to acquire knowledge necessary for human resources that can lead industrial society or for engineers and researchers/developers that can be immediately of service to the society.
In addition, it can be expected that the completion of the sub program will allow them to acquire a wide variety of knowledge across environment and energy.

Environmental Management

Main subjects in this program

  • Environmental Management for Sustainable Industrial Systems
  • Engineering and Risk
  • Environmental Dynamics Adv.
  • Environmental Modeling Adv.
  • Bio-Environmental Conservation Engineering
  • Thermal Environment System Adv.

In this program, lectures on the technologies for conservation of the environment and resources, and on the social systems for their application, diffusion and management are provided.
This program aims to give the aspect on environmental system as the integrated system which is consisted of engineering and social systems through the topics on environmental monitoring and analyses for the elucidation of the interaction between nature and human activity, and environmental technologies and management procedures on load reduction and on environmental conservation, purification and remediation technologies.
This program aims to educate human resources who can contribute to develop and manage environmental and resource technologies, to design social system which supports sustainable recycling society, and to bear basic researches in the related area.

Sustainable Environmental Design

Main subjects in this program

  • Principles of Urban Symbiosis
  • Design Techniques for Symbiotic Environment
  • Spacial Design for Symbiotic Environment
  • Information, Media and Communication
  • Environmental Communication and Risk Communication
  • Engineering System Design for Sustainability

In this program, lectures on insight into a relationship between human beings and environment and on seeking the modality of sustainable cities and living environment are provided.
The human environment can be divided in two categories. One is social environment such as politics, economy, legal framework, history and culture, and the other is spatially constituted physical environment such as nature and artificial buildings. This program mainly deals with the modality of coexistence of "human and human", "human and nature", "human and technology", "human and place" in the spatial fields of the environment.
The definition of "Design" in this program does not simply mean to decorate the thing in an aesthetic manner, but to give a structure to the thing by conceiving its structure based on the relationship among various factors.
From this viewpoint, the way of elucidating a mechanism of human environment, especially urban environment, and the way of "design", the ways of participation and cooperation of residents and local government in "design", and the modality of an information system necessary for these activities.
With an eye on the above goals, this program provides the theory of arts and social science as well as engineering.

Circulatory Material and Resources

Main subjects in this Program

  • Advanced Environmental Materials and Circulatory Utilizaing System of Resources, Adv.
  • Quantum Beam Bio-engineering
  • Advanced Medical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Bio Resource Engineering
  • Green Chemistry
  • Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

In this program, lectures on material development for zero-waste materials and waste reclamation, environmentally-friendly processes including bio-process, biomaterials, diagnosis and remedy of body tissue, and medical and rehabilitation technologies are widely provided.
For training researchers, as "Circulatory Material and Resource Systems" is the interdisciplinary engineering, this program gives broad perspective and solutions for the environmental problems as well as pursuance of the theory.

  • Environmental Planing and Management in Global Society

In this protram, lectures on technologies and design of energy conversion system such as nuclear power generation, new energy materials, application of renewable energy, and energy saving system are provided for the development and management of sustainable energy system in the 21st century.
This program aims to grow the ability to grasp the perspective of energy system and to evaluate indivisual technologies. In conjunction with other programs, it is possible to learn perspective of nuclear energy system and planning/management of low-carbon society. Training of human resources who can practically develop the system for energy problems.

Quantum Energy

Main subjects in this program

  • Reactor Physics
  • Nuclear Reactor Control
  • Nuclear Fuel and Materials
  • Advanced Safety Engineering for Nuclear Reactor
  • Nuclear Reactor Fusion Reactor Engineering
  • Quantum Beam Chemistry
  • Laser Energetics
In this program, lectures on basic science such as reactor physics, thermal dynamics, fluid dynamics and computing science, and on energy development and application such as safety, renovation reactor, fusion reactor, quantum beam, medical and bio technologies are widely provided. On the bases of basic science, this program aims to develop environmentally-friendly and utility energy system for next generation, and to grow human resources who can be leader in the 21st century through the development and application of future energy system including from extremely small "micro-world" to "macro-world" such as whole society, especially world-leading nuclear power system.
