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. |
