Furthermore, possess interdisciplinary and multifaceted thinking and leadership skills that will enable them to cooperate and collaborate with others and play a leading role in the development of cutting-edge technologies that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
(D) To develop the ability to logically explain research results, acquire the communication skills necessary to be active in an international setting, and become a creative leader with an international outlook. Furthermore, to acquire the language skills necessary for this.

Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering (Master's Program) Curriculum Policy

(1) Curriculum organization policy
Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering (Master's Program) organizes a curriculum that establishes expertise and leads to the cultivation of interdisciplinarity to survive in an increasingly diverse society in order to acquire the competencies set forth in the Diploma Policy. In addition to lecture-based courses to acquire knowledge, seminar courses to acquire research and practical skills, as well as practical courses such as "special experiments" and "special research", are arranged to cultivate the ability to conduct research. In addition, practical activities inside and outside the university will be carried out, and internship courses will be offered to develop interdisciplinary skills.

(2) Policy on the content of education and how to implement education
The subjects studied in the two years consist of "specialized subjects" and "common subjects".
In specialized subjects, the subjects necessary to acquire the competencies of [Perspectives (A), (B), (C)] stipulated in the Graduate School of Engineering Diploma Policy will be assigned. In the lecture courses for acquiring knowledge among specialized subjects, based on what you have studied at the undergraduate level, "Advanced Chemical Engineering" and "Advanced Physics and Engineering" are especially established as courses corresponding to [Perspective (A)], and students will acquire chemistry and physics, which are the foundations of their specializations, and the compulsory courses related to their engineering. In addition, courses are arranged to acquire cutting-edge technologies and knowledge that can be used in research in various fields such as the environment, energy, and new materials, corresponding to [Perspective (B)]. In addition, "Special Experiment in Chemical Physics and Engineering" and "Special Research in Chemical Physics and Engineering" are arranged as practical and experimental subjects to develop the ability to set and solve problems and practical skills in order to take on highly original research corresponding to [Perspective (C)]. You will also develop ethics in the natural sciences and engineering through these courses.
In common subjects, courses necessary to acquire the ability of [Perspective (C) and (D)] are offered. In particular, students will cultivate interdisciplinarity by providing learning that transcends their majors through courses that package social needs and cross-disciplinary technologies as common subjects that do not depend on majors. In addition, students will be assigned subjects to improve their English proficiency and interdisciplinarity, such as "Comprehensive Intellectual Inquiry," and acquire the ability to communicate accurately with a wide range of experts from overseas.
In the seminar courses included in the specialized courses and the "Special Lectures on Advanced Chemistry and Physics Engineering", and the "Internships", "On-campus Internships", and "Advanced Frontier Chemistry and Physics and Engineering" included in the common courses, in order to acquire the ability of [Perspectives (B), (C), (D)], the students deepen their knowledge related to chemical engineering and physical engineering specialties through practical activities inside and outside the university, and come into contact with the research of others. Enhance multifaceted thinking and communication skills through opportunities for discussion.

③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In order to develop engineers and researchers who have acquired the perspectives set out in the diploma policy, students are graded by exams and reports for lectures, and by reports and oral exams for experiments, practical training and exercises. Course grades are expressed in five levels: S, A, B, C and D, with S, A, B and C being passes and D being a fail. Students who pass are awarded the designated number of credits. In addition, for dissertations, the examination criteria and methods are clearly stated, and the dissertation examination and final examination are conducted rigorously by the Dissertation Examination Committee based on theses.
