We reorganized the Faculty of Engineering founded in1972 and into the Faculty of Science and Technology in April 2017.

The mission of the new Faculty of Science and Technology is to develop outstanding engineers and scientists who act as active driving forces to creating the future. In order to clear the society's problems that keep extending broadness and adding complexities, the landscape of the technologies is changing more rapidly than ever before. As fundamental shifts have undertaken in industries and societies, we redesigned engineering education and focused to foster challengers who search for root of the problems scientifically and innovate cross boundaries technologies to lead a comprehensive solution.

Following an era of technological development that emphasized economic efficiency based on mass production and mass consumption, that led us face environmental destruction and food/energy crises, new global-scale research and development have been promoted in recent years to explore the realization of a sustainable society. Our country has been struggling with difficulties catching up social and industry structure reform changing more swiftly than ever before, resulting from the progress of globalization accelerated by advances of information technology and AI and, also, from a decrease in the productive age population.

We need to cope with these difficulties and to design a new social model and realize a sustainable society. In order to solve multiple global-scale issues and build a sustainable society, we must cultivate human resources with science and technological knowledge who possess both a professional perspective in a specific field and a wider interdisciplinary vision to collectively capture related fields.

The newly reformed Faculty of Science and Technology aims to develop human resources encompass science and engineering to explore the rules and principles causing the issues and to design technological innovations from those bases. The Department of Innovative Engineering is for "human resources who work in the profession of engineer and understand the field of science" (engineering). The Department of Integrated Science and Technology is for "human resources who work in the profession of scientist and understand the field of engineering" (science and engineering). These two types of human resources (engineering as well as science and engineering) are expected to work in tandem as a driving force to solve multiple global-scale issues and realize a sustainable society.

The Department of Innovative Engineering has four divisions: The Division of Mechanical Engineering, the Division of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Division of Welfare Mechatronics and the Division of Architecture. This department aims to create innovations in high value-added manufacturing technology. It also incorporates the basics of science evaluating the effects on the natural environment, human environment, and humans. The Department of Integrated Science and Technology has also four divisions: The Division of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems, the Division of Applied Chemistry, the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Division of Natural Sciences. The students in the Division of Mathematical Sciences and Division of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems and the students in the Division of Natural Sciences and Division of Applied Chemistry share quite a few lectures in order to foster collaboration of scientific disciplines. Students in the Department of Innovative Engineering will be granted a bachelor's degree in engineering while students in the Department of Integrated Science and Technology will be granted a bachelor's degree in science and engineering.

The Faculty of Science and Technology strives to resolve issues with a global impact: Efficient use of energy and saving/recycling of resources related to energy storage; prevention of global warming; invention of nano materials that have epochal performance; creating mechanical materials with high reliability; construction of a more advanced communication infrastructure; designing an architecture and urban/transportation system that make it possible to coexist with the environment; and exploring mathematical and scientific bases as the foundations of these works.

Furthermore, we provide substantial facilities, experimental equipment and the network environment to sustain our education/research. You can fully utilize the research environment and concentrate on your chosen research theme while you fully propel your research in the environment.

By actively promoting collaborative research with companies, we enhance cooperation with society. We also actively promote contracted research from the various foundations (NEDO, CREST, JST, etc.) and have been actively participating in national projects. In this environment, you will have direct exposure to the cutting-edge technologies or developing environment. Through the endeavors of these education/research, we aim to produce human resources who will challenge the paradigm shift and play active roles in changing the world.

The Graduate School of Engineering was established to further enhance expertise based on the knowledge/technology acquired in the bachelor's programs. We provide two-year master programs and three-year doctoral programs. Why not contribute to social development with the knowledge/technology that you have acquired in the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Graduate School of Engineering? Why not make your future meaningful? We look forward to your enrollment in our university at the Dannoharu Campus.
