Be a street-smart engineer!
The Kyoto University of Advanced Science Faculty of Engineering (KUAS Eng) focuses on mechanical, electrical and systems engineering and has a curriculum designed to allow students to master a vast variety of the latest technologies within a single program. The faculty consists of experts in a diverse range of fields including robotics, programming, data science, nano-technology, and more. Students can choose courses that align with their interests. Furthermore, its abundance of state-of-the-art facilities and hands-on training provides an ideal learning environment to stimulate students' creativity and imagination.
KUAS Eng's capstone is problem-solving. Students work in teams of four to tackle real challenges set forth by partnered companies over the course of a year. Through this experience, students acquire technical, teamwork, and communication skills and learn how to effectively apply their studies in a corporate context.
KUAS Eng boasts its new Engineering Building (South Building, Uzumasa Campus), which was completed in 2020. It provides an excellent environment that stimulates students' creativity, with teaching laboratories ideal for hands-on training, workshops equipped with the latest equipment ranging from 3D printers to large machine tools, and a library for individual study as well as group discussions. These facilities function best as a place for future engineers to interact and invent.
KUAS provides all international students with intensive Japanese language courses to broaden their future career paths at no additional cost. Becoming proficient in Japanese while studying engineering in English will broaden students’ employment horizons in the future. A shortage of engineers is expected to occur in the coming years, but with their diverse engineering knowledge and academic abilities, KUAS graduates will stand out among the already in-demand talent.
