Curriculum Features

For the sake of convenience, the courses that can be taken in this major are listed below since they cover a wide range of fields and have a wide range of learning objectives and goals.

  • Technology Policy
  • Technology Management
  • Technology Systems

For your convenience, we have divided them into three categories: [Technology Policy], [Technology Management], and [Technology Systems].
Each subject is offered at different times (one semester, two semesters, intensive lectures, full-year) and at different frequencies (annually, each year). To help you plan your course of study smoothly, we have prepared a curriculum chart (go to the Graduate School of Engineering page).

In addition to the curriculum below, we also offer educational programs such as study tours and engineering English training.
