To the world, to the future

工学部長

Advances in science and technology are creating many new jobs, and accordingly, career paths are expanding for graduates who have majored in engineering. Graduates from the College of Engineering, Ibaraki University, are active in various fields, including not only manufacturing, information processing, and civil engineering, but also finance, distribution, transportation, food, and plants. In this context, we believe that solid education for training engineers is important to face the future along with its challenges such as the increasingly complex world, growing disparities, and threats of nature.

As information technology is now an essential part of our daily lives, we have introduced a curriculum that allows all students in the College of Engineering to learn the basics of mathematics and information processing. Most of the departments in the College of Engineering have been accredited by the Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education as having educational programs and systems suitable for cultivating world-class engineers.

Since science and technology are advancing and expanding rapidly, it is difficult for students to reach the forefront of these fields within only four years of undergraduate studies. Therefore, the College of Engineering, Ibaraki University, offers a six-year integrated education program in which students study a continuous curriculum consisting of a four-year undergraduate course and a two-year postgraduate course. Currently, more than 60% of our undergraduate graduates go on to graduate school, study and research cutting-edge technologies, and present the results of their research at academic conferences.

In addition, to create better technologies and products, it is necessary to facilitate cooperation among engineers with diverse perspectives and backgrounds. For this reason, many companies seek to employ female engineers. We have also been improving our campus in order to welcome more female students.

I know that high school students have various dreams for the future, and I would like you to consider the College of Engineering, Ibaraki University, as an opportunity for realizing your dreams.

Dean of the College of Engineering, Ibaraki University
