Curriculum (Faculty)

The Faculty of Science and Technology provides curriculums on liberal arts and major subjects. The courses consist of lectures, seminars, exercises, experiments, and practices. The system is designed as flexible as possible so that a student belonging to a department can easily take classes of the other departments in the Faculty.

Liberal arts

The liberal arts course aims to cultivate a broad and in-depth education and develop comprehensive judgment and rich humanitarian values. The program includes various kinds of subjects; Introductions to study skills, Local and global topics, Cross-faculty type regionally oriented issues, Society and Culture, Nature and Science, Human and Life, Career development, English, and other languages.

Major subjects

The students acquire expertise and skills. They also develop ethics, internationality, creativity, adaptability, and comprehensive judgment. In the Core Basic subjects, they learn the basic science and mathematics commonly needed. In the Individual Basic/Specialized Advanced subjects, they select their interest topics and understand expertise in-depth.

Bachelor’s thesis

Every student belongs to a group managed by a professor and works on research projects from the beginning of the 4th year (the second semester of the 3rd year in Dept. of Frontier Materials Chemistry). All the students should summarize their results as the thesis at the end of the 4th year. It is crucial to keep good communication with the supervisor and colleagues in the group. The students will challenge unresolved problems and learn the process of advancing research while making their ingenuity and develop their ability to solve issues.

The grading system

We evaluate the grade for a major subject (except one in the teacher training course) as follows.

Lectures, Exercises, Experiments, Practices

1) We have two ways to assess a student’s grade; Regular and End-of-term evaluations. We carry out the first one for exercises, experiments, and practices and the second for lectures.
2) In the Regular evaluations, we evaluate the results of quizzes, mini-reports (homework), and presentations.
3) In the End-of-term evaluation, we evaluate the result of the examination/report/presentation.

Licenses

The students can obtain various kinds of licenses listed below to earn all the required subjects’ credits.
