JABEE accredited education
program (Materials Science and Engineering).
JABEE
(Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education)
is non-governmental organization (NGO) for evaluating and
accrediting, that fairly examines educational programs (contents,
method of education and operation, facilities, etc.) of universities
or institutions of higher learning whether they satisfy demands
of the society or not.
The engineering education program conducted in our department
called Materials Science and Engineering (see below) was examined
by a JABEE committee in November of 2004. As a result, we
passed the exam and received an official certificate dated
on May 12th of 2005 to state that our program meets education-quality
standards required by JABEE. Accordingly, each graduate of
an academic year of 2004, who had completed the curriculum
of the course of Materials Science and Engineering, has been
authorized as a person of completion of the JABEE-accredited
education program.
The students of the JABEE-accredited education program have
an advantage to get a title for 'Professional Engineer': they
are exempted from the 1st examination which is required for
all the candidates. In fact, the title of Professional Engineer
is one of the most prestigious ones among all the engineering-related
national qualifications.
