Program Overview

Introduction to the Engineering Design Course

The Engineering Design Course is a comprehensive program that provides students with a broad and in-depth education in engineering design. The curriculum is designed to support students' progress towards becoming leading researchers in the field.

Program Structure

The program is structured to allow students to systematically learn specialized knowledge and techniques through a series of related subjects. The curriculum is divided into several areas of study, including:

• Engineering Design
• Design Science
• Human-Centered Design

Master's Course (2 years)

The Master's Course is a 2-year program that builds on the foundational knowledge acquired in the undergraduate course. Students can learn advanced and cutting-edge knowledge and techniques in their field of study. The program includes:

• Specialized subjects for in-depth study
• Research and thesis work to develop expertise and creativity
• Common subjects, including:
  • Lecture subjects for specialized research
  • Studio work and experimental research
  • Practice subjects for practical design work

Common Subject Groups

The common subject groups include:

• Lecture subjects for specialized research
• Studio work and experimental research
• Practice subjects for practical design work

Engineering Design Subject Group

The Engineering Design Subject Group covers the latest trends and details in engineering design, as well as design methods and representation techniques that consider the environment. Students can also gain experience in international communication and collaboration with students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Design Science Subject Group

The Design Science Subject Group covers a wide range of design science methods, from individual design science to regional design science planning and conservation. The program emphasizes a mathematical and logical approach, as well as analysis methods based on field surveys.

Human-Centered Design Subject Group

The Human-Centered Design Subject Group provides a comprehensive education in human-centered design, from foundational to advanced levels. The program covers design and materials, as well as the latest human-centered design technologies and research on advanced materials.

Doctoral Course (3 years)

The Doctoral Course is a 3-year program that builds on the knowledge and expertise acquired in the Master's Course. Students can learn the latest and most advanced knowledge and techniques in their field of study, as well as develop their research and leadership skills. The program includes:

• Specialized subjects for in-depth study
• Research and thesis work to develop expertise and creativity
• Common subjects, including:
  • Lecture subjects for specialized research
  • Studio work and experimental research
  • Practice subjects for practical design work

Engineering Design Subject Group (Doctoral Course)

The Engineering Design Subject Group in the Doctoral Course covers advanced and specialized research in engineering design theory and history. Students can explore topics such as the relationship between engineering design and concepts like "structure" and "space."

Design Science Subject Group (Doctoral Course)

The Design Science Subject Group in the Doctoral Course covers advanced and specialized research in design science. Students can explore topics such as the analysis of design behavior and crowd behavior analysis in regional communities.

Human-Centered Design Subject Group (Doctoral Course)

The Human-Centered Design Subject Group in the Doctoral Course covers advanced and specialized research in human-centered design. Students can gain experience in static and dynamic experiments using full-scale design elements, as well as analysis and simulation of various design materials.
