Graduate School of Engineering

The Graduate School of Engineering extracts the creativity from the students not only by encouraging their independent researches but also by turning their eyes towards research fields other than their own. By providing solid basic and advanced education, the school trains professional engineers and researchers with frontier spirits, who are active in various fields of engineering.

The school has the following four divisions.

Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering is a research organization of faculty members, with 50 years history that was reorganized as of April 2001. It includes members who bring innovative research in the fields of science and engineering. The Faculty of Engineering is a separate entity from the educational organizations of the Graduate and Undergraduate Schools of Engineering at Yokohama National University. However, each faculty member is responsible for the education of students of the Graduate School of Engineering in addition to the education of students of the School of Engineering. The faculty consists of three major research divisions.

• Division of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering
• Division of Systems Research
• Division of Intelligent Systems Engineering

• Graduate School of Engineering and Faculty of Engineering Web Site

Materials Science and Engineering Division

The division provides education on development, manufacturing, recycling, and disposal of materials that are in harmony with the natural environment and promote safe and efficient use of resources.

Systems Integration Division

The division deals with the vast areas of engineering including mechanical, ocean-space and materials engineering. The graduates of the division become able to construct advanced complex system from small components by synthesizing science-based elemental technology, design technology that makes use of that elemental technology, and production technology that harmonizes with society and environment.

Civil Engineering and Architecture Division

The division provides education on planning, designing, constructing, and using facilities in society. It trains students to be able to consider the relation between nature and society from a comprehensive viewpoint.

Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering Division

By providing education on basic and applied engineering, the division fosters technical experts and system managers who are creative and active in various fields of engineering, including electronics, electrical engineering, information engineering and materials engineering.

Faculty of Engineering

Responding to society’s needs of fast growing engineering technology, the Faculty of Engineering, the research institute, is separated from the Graduate School of Engineering. The faculty consists of three research divisions: Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, Systems Research, and Intelligent Systems Engineering.
