Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering

Diploma Policy of the Department of Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering

1. Those who have acquired basic academic skills related to the natural sciences, with a focus on comprehensive academic skills in chemistry and physics.
2. In order to solve complex problems such as global issues such as energy and the environment, as well as issues related to the creation of new industries, we will take a bird's-eye view of the issues, refine them, and optimize them by deepening our comprehensive understanding of chemistry and physics. Furthermore, the applicant must have knowledge of a research area that can realize the proposal and development of elemental technologies based on basic principles as a system, and possess the ability to think logically and gain insight based on principles.
3. From a mission-oriented standpoint, we are aware of our responsibility to society as engineers, and while considering economic efficiency, safety, and impact on society and the environment from multiple perspectives, we understand the essence of the subject and solve engineering problems. Be aware of these issues and have the ability to solve them creatively.
4. Applicants must have acquired the communication skills and education necessary both domestically and internationally in order to be able to actively work as an advanced global engineer.

Curriculum Policy of the Department of Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering

① Curriculum composition policy
In order to acquire the abilities listed in the diploma policy, the Department of Chemical and Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering a systematic curriculum consisting of liberal arts subjects to cultivate the liberal arts required for global engineers and the language skills necessary to be active in the international community (perspective D), specialized basic subjects to cultivate basic academic skills in chemistry, physics, and mathematics (perspective A), and specialized subjects to cultivate specialized knowledge in chemical engineering, physical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering (perspective B). From the third semester of the second year, the course is divided into two courses, the "Chemical Engineering Course" and the "Physical Engineering Course," and education is provided that allows students to clearly set their learning goals. The specialized subjects are three subject packages: the "Energy Subject Package" consisting of subjects related to energy problem solving and energy conversion technology, the "New Materials Subject Package" consisting of subjects related to measurement and control technology and the development of new materials that are considerate of energy and the environment, and the "Environmental Subject Package" consisting of subjects related to building new biosystems and solving environmental problems, as well as common subjects to cultivate the ability to solve problems mathematically (perspective C). In this way, the Department of Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering has created a two-course, three-subject package, which allows students to actively design their own learning goals.

② Policies regarding the content and implementation of education
Liberal arts courses begin in the first year, and include courses designed to help students acquire the skills in perspectives A and D.
Specialized foundational subjects also begin in the first year, and among these, many courses are offered that are primarily aimed at helping students acquire the skills in Perspectives A and B.
Specialized subjects are offered mainly from the second to fourth year, to help students acquire the abilities in perspectives B and C. In particular, lecture subjects are linked to experiments, training, and seminar subjects, allowing students to acquire knowledge related to their specialty through lecture subjects, and deepen their specialized knowledge and acquire the practical skills through experiments, training, and seminar subjects.

③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In lecture courses, which are primarily aimed at acquiring basic liberal arts skills, fundamental academic ability, the ability to utilize specialized knowledge, logical thinking skills, insight, and the ability to form a social and ethical outlook, as stipulated in the diploma policy, students will be assessed on their level of achievement through exams, reports, etc. In experiments, practical training, and seminar courses, which are primarily aimed at acquiring the executive skills to advance research and development, the interpersonal skills to support collaboration with others, and the communication skills stipulated in the diploma policy, students will be assessed on their level of achievement through reports, oral exams, etc. Grades for course subjects 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 will be awarded the designated number of credits.
