3.8. Kyoto University - Graduate School of Engineering

3.8.1. International Doctoral Program in Engineering for Sustainability

3.8.1.1. Aims

This course aims to strategically nurture highly qualified human resources, especially those who will play
leading roles in science and technology policymaking, by educating talented and enthusiastic young people

in the Asia/Pacific Rim region in fundamental areas of sustainability engineering (disaster prevention, envi-

ronment, resources/energy, etc.) in an excellent education and research environment in Japan. This course

also aims to develop a “global human resources-based network for science and technology development” -
an international network of leaders in the fields of disaster prevention, environment and resources/energy,

mainly in the Asia/Pacific Rim region.

3.8.1.2. Contents and Features

In addition to conducting doctoral dissertation research in their major field of study under individual guidan-

ce of a supervisor, students will receive systematic education in a wide range of fields by faculty members
across various disciplines. From 2008, the new Integrated Masters-Doctoral Program, which combines a

masters program (first half of the doctoral program) and doctoral program (second half of the doctoral pro-

gram), will be introduced. In this Program, two courses will be established: an “Advanced Engineering Cour-

se,” which provides advanced education and research opportunities in each specialized field, and an “Inter-

disciplinary Engineering Course,” which pursues interdisciplinary education in new fields of engineering by
consolidating existing academic disciplines in a cross-sectoral manner. The Interdisciplinary Engineering

Course is offered by the Advanced Engineering Education Center, which is to be established within the Gra-

duate School of Engineering, in cooperation with related departments. It is planned that an “International

Doctoral Program in Engineering for sustainability” will also be offered within the framework of the 3-year
