Electronics and Materials Science Department has the distinctive feature that it offers the possibility to study topics from both fields of Electronics and Materials Energy Chemistry.
Curriculum stages
During the first year, basic science courses will be offered on liberal arts, mathematics, physics, chemistry, English, and so on with the main aim of offering to students a wide range of knowledge, as well as basic academic and language skills for proceeding to the expert-level studies.
In the second year, students have to select one of the courses of Electronic Physics Devices or Materials Energy Chemistry.
During second and third years, in the Electronic Physics Device course, students can attend more specialized subjects related to electronics, such as Electronic Circuits and Imaging Devices. On the other hand, in the Materials Energy Chemistry course, students can attend more specialized subjects such as Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Materials, Energy-related Chemistry and so on. As a special characteristic, even after the separation into different courses, many subjects are common for both courses, such as Basic Electrical Circuits, Electrochemical Energy and others.
During the fourth year, graduation research begins and students have the possibility to become engaged in international-level state-of-the-art research and to test their research capabilities.
As described above, our department aims at promoting graduation of experts with basic knowledge of electronics in addition to basic professional knowledge of materials energy chemistry related to electronics, based on which they can contribute to the progress of the society. Such experts are currently strongly sought after by the society. It is possible to be employed in companies which are closely related to the topics of each of the courses, but there are also many companies that seek experts with knowledge in both electronics and materials chemistry. In fact, merged knowledge from both fields of electronics and materials has been incorporated in many industrial products for personal use. In particular, since in Japan there are key industries for electrical equipment and automobile or automobile parts, the choices of employment after graduation are greatly expanded.
In addition, after graduation, more than half of the students go on to Graduate School (Master’s degree for two years) in order to further acquire highly-specialized knowledge.
