* Reorganized into a single department with five courses from the 2018 academic year.
Developing Excellent Researchers and Engineers with Rich Humanity
In tune with the changes in society and rapid technological innovations in recent years, engineering education is also becoming more diverse, distinctive and specialized. Moreover, based on engineering ethics and bioethics, those who can contribute to local and international communities are being actively sought. From this perspective, at the School of Engineering of University of Toyama the focus has been on not only widespread and in-depth learning and acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, but also on originality. This allows knowledge and skills to be put to practical use, environmental education that is friendly to the earth and human beings, language and information education for the global community and cultivating well-rounded researchers and professionals.
Message from the Dean
To Natives of the Digital Age
Dean of the School of Engineering
Noriyasu Oguma
During the postwar era of rapid growth, Japan made a name for itself worldwide with its manufacturing technologies and high standards of quality. However, as information has become increasingly digitized in recent years, it has become possible to provide data to, and derive data from, all types of items, and Japan now finds itself searching for a competitive edge in this new age. Utilizing digital data has proven essential in various fields beyond engineering. Here too at the University of Toyama School of Engineering, we work to further education and research in order to ensure that we do not fall behind the times, in terms of increasing the value of various items through data. We work to take advantage of data science technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twins, for education in specialized fundamentals of engineering and their practical application, as well as for interdisciplinary collaboration across medicine, pharmacy, science, and engineering. Many have suggested the need for reskilling as a way to develop human resources for our digital society; this requires wisdom born of both knowledge (semantic memory) and skill (procedural memory). However, a catalyst is also necessary, to serve as a “seed.” At the School of Engineering, we have prepared a wide variety of opportunities — and many such seeds. I look forward to seeing you grow steadily, step by step, as you head out into the world as members of our digital society, where these seeds can bloom into magnificent flowers.
