The number of students at the Seta Campus: 2,408
Male students: 2,136; Female students: 272 (As of May 1, 2017)
A new curriculum will be started in the year of 2014
A new curriculum, which will be introduced in 2014, will aim to provide cultivation of autonomous learning for students. All departments of this faculty for the first half of the first year at university will set this period as a time for the students to acquire the habit of autonomous and continuous learning, while providing characteristic education during the initial year in university with awareness of the expertise of each department. By doing so, this brand-new curriculum provides education that boost appetite for the learning of students.
Fine learning support that focuses on experience of small-group education
Focusing on small-group practice, experiments, and practical training, the Faculty of Science and Technology has a total of more than 600 teaching assistants in order to offer fine mutual and interactive support for learning.
Global education to cultivate science engineers that have a global perspective
We provide global education that is consistent from the faculty to the graduate school in order to cultivate science engineers that have a global perspective. The BIE program throughout the university is provided for the students during their first and second years (see p.41), and for those of the third year, the “Global Carrier Practical Training” program is provided. Furthermore, the graduate school offers more developmental global education programs such as an overseas study program.
Wide share of cutting-edge study activities with society
In coordination with Digital Archives Research Center, Satoyama Research Center, and Joint Research Center for Science and Technology, we actively share the achievements of cutting-edge study activities of the Faculty of Science and Technology to society.
Six fields of study
- Solid foundations and skills for application to actual problems -
Corresponding to the representative keywords of modern natural science, information, system, energy, materials and substances, and environment, the Faculty of Science and Technology consists of six departments that support development of science and technology in harmony with humans and the global environment.
We aim to have our students have a clear understanding of the basics and cultivate flexible skills for application to actual problems without placing too much focus on the specialized areas.
