Education Goals

The educational objectives for students involve acquiring knowledge on semiconductor engineering, which is the core technology that physically supports our information-based and data-driven society, and achieving fundamental literacy (fundamental and applied knowledge of mathematics and data science) that is essential for the operation of this society. Students will develop themselves as highly specialized engineers and researchers with advanced expertise and deep insights in the fields of semiconductor engineering, including large-scale integrated circuit and system design, semiconductor devices, materials, and manufacturing process technology. These specialists will play an active role in a globalized world with a broad perspective and high ethical standards.

1. Human resources who can respond in a flexible and rapid manner to the diverse and changing demands of society from a broad perspective by utilizing their advanced expertise.
2. Human resources with the creative ability to develop new technologies and solve problems
3. Human resources who are highly motivated to lead an information-oriented society and contribute to local and international communities.

Education Objectives

Education is provided as per the following goals to achieve the aforementioned objectives.

1. Learn advanced expertise in the field of semiconductor systems through a six-year integrated educational program linked with undergraduate education.
2. Develop flexibility, practical ability, planning ability, and an entrepreneurial spirit that can be transferred to a variety of fields through integrated courses and internships.
3. Develop communication and presentation skills through presentations at academic conferences both in Japan and overseas.
4. Develop a spontaneous spirit of inquiry and the abilities to think logically, find and solve problems, and express themselves by writing a Master’s thesis.

What We Offer

The core courses in the fields of semiconductor design, semiconductor physics, semiconductor materials, semiconductor-manufacturing processes, software, hardware, computer applications, and information mathematics—which represent fundamental knowledge in the specialized field of semiconductor system engineering—are designated as “specialized foundation courses.” Courses providing the foundational knowledge required in the specialized fields of information engineering, mathematics, and data science are categorized as “specialized applied courses.” In this curriculum, students can select their areas of expertise based on their needs. Furthermore, students without a semiconductor-related background can take remedial education courses to understand the basics of the semiconductor field. Thus, our program is robust to students from a wide range of fields.
