Be an engineer who can think,
judge and make proposals,
while taking on challenges through teamwork.
Students may naturally find it difficult to shine only with technological abilities when aspiring to do well professionally in regional cities and prefectures or major enterprises after graduating from universities. They also need to be able to manage. In this course, students learn about and develop professional engineering expertise and management abilities. Students are encouraged to be able to demonstrate their abilities to the full extent, not in engineering knowledge alone.
