The Department of Chemical Engineering is dedicated to training chemical engineers who combine flexible thinking skills and general skills in a way that enables them to pursue careers in a broad range of fields related to chemical and environmental technology, both in Japan and overseas.
To that end, the Department offers two courses that students choose during their second year based on their interests so that they can gain basic academic skills along with advanced,specialized skills related to chemical and molecular engineering: the Chemical Engineering Course (which has been accredited by the Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education), in which students study basic principles and technologies related to the equipment and devices used in the chemical industry; and the Molecular Engineering course, in which students study basic knowledge and technologies related to substances and materials such as inorganic and organic substances, macromolecules, and biomaterials based on a microscopic perspective with focuses such as molecules and crystals.
Both courses strive to offer an educational experience that reflects changes in information technology and society by incorporating the most recent research findings and practical content.
