Educational Program of General and Combined Engineering
1. Introduction
Gifu national College of
Technology is carrying out an educational program of General and Combined Engineering for students to acquire sound backgrounds for engineers working
internationally. The program is
held during the fourth and fifth years of the five-year course plus two years
of advanced education, and aims at authorization by Japanese Accreditation
Board for Engineering Education (JABEE).
After the authorization by JABEE, graduates of this educational program
will be exempted from the first stage test of professional engineers and
qualified as a preparatory professional engineer.
2. Concept of this educational program
It is imperative to deeply consider the method
of preventing depleted resource materials associated with industrial production
and the diffusion of various materials affecting the ecological system for the
sustainable development of human beings on this earth. Therefore, in “the manufacturing
engineer society” the provision of artificial environments enable efficient
human labor and intelligent activities with high amenity, the conservation of
global environment and the construction of recurring society must be
contemplated.
The educational program of General and Combined Engineering is aimed at fostering students’ abilities as follows:
comprehensive capability of designing environmental systems which are composed
of various socially required functions; and realized by substances such as
machines, electrical and electronic equipments, buildings and social
infrastructures, as well as space: such as life, city and nature, energy,
knowledge and information and their control and management.
3. Engineer trained by this educational program
Engineer trained by this educational program
will have one’s own specialized engineering field along with a solid
understanding of mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering,
information science, architecture and civil engineering. One also should be able to develop the
combined systems of above-mentioned backgrounds. One should be able to display a leadership in an
international field by utilizing information technology and English.
