Materials Science is a base of science and engineering. We can produce nothing without knowing what matters are constructed by and what properties matters have. Furthermore, we can produce matters only when we know them well.
 
 

 
 The word "material" comes from "matter". So material has a wide meaning over matter. The targets of our research activities are creation of new functional materials, investigation of their function and their application.
 

 
 Materials Science and Engineering Course is established for studying and teaching physics, chemistry and technology of materials such as metals, semiconductors and ceramics. In the Course, researches are performed on advanced functional materials, for instance, solid fuel cells, super conducting materials, high density magnetic recording materials, etc., which are considered to support the future technologies of energy source and electronics for information. Advanced structural materials, such as metals, intermetallics, ceramics and their composites for space-craft materials and earthquake-proof skyscrapers, etc. are also important objects to investigate in the Course.
 
 

 
 
Materials Science and Engineering Course aims at training students into those who are able to contribute to society as engineers or researchers on materials. To accomplish this aim, the curriculum is designed as to be well-balanced between liberal arts and professional classes. In the junior grades, liberal arts hold an important position. Professional classes will gradually increase their importance in senior grades. In the last grade (4th Grade), Graduation Research will be carried on in laboratories.
