    I Outline of the Undergraduate International Course Program of Global Engineering

    A new international course in the Undergraduate School of Global Engineering is being offered since

    April 2011. All classes are provided in English. The field of global engineering perceives civil

    engineering problems on a global scale, including environmental issues and natural resource

    concerns. The course aims to cultivate human resources capable of designing and managing civil

    infrastructures while considering global environmental issues around urban and regional areas,

    particularly in Asian and African countries. This international course is offered through K.U.

    PROFILE.

    This course is a 4-year program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree. In the first and second

    years, students are required to take classes in fundamental mathematics and physics, and also liberal

    arts. Scientific English and basic Japanese classes are also available. From the second year,specialized civil engineering classes begin, including classes in environmental engineering and earth

    resources, and energy science. For the first three years, all classes will be offered at Yoshida Campus,

    the main campus of Kyoto University. In the fourth (final) year, students with sufficient credits will

    be able to join a research group and may relocate to one of the universitys other nearby campuses,

    such as Katsura Campus or Uji Campus. Many of Kyoto Universitys civil engineering related

    laboratories moved from the main campus to Katsura Campus in 2006. The campus is renowned for

    its excellent research environment and experiment facilities. Each student will undertake research for

    their bachelor thesis at his/her designated laboratory. The thesis must be presented and examined inFebruary of the final year, in order to graduate in March.

    Kyoto Universitys many international partnerships with institutions overseas provide students with

    opportunities to undertake study and research not only in Japan, but also in other countries. A credit

    transfer system will be made available for students who wish to study outside of Japan for a certain

    period.

    After completing this course, it is recommended that students continue their research in the masters

    and doctoral programs. New masters programs are also launched by the Graduate School of

    Engineering, providing further education and research opportunities in English. The following

    related programs are available: masters programs in the Management of Civil Infrastructure, and

    Urban and Regional Development in addition to a doctoral program in Human Security Engineering.

    Comprehensive support by English-speaking staff will be provided to international students toassist them with their living and studying needs in Kyoto.

    IX Curriculum

    In the first three years of the course, all the classes will be given at Kyoto Universitys Yoshida

    Campus (Main Campus). First and second year students will primarily study subjects covering the

    liberal arts and the fundamentals of the natural sciences. The number of specialized subjects

    increases substantially in the second semester of the second year. Second and third year students

    must therefore concentrate on studying a wide range of specialized subjects in the civil engineering

    fields. In the fourth (final) year, those who have earned a sufficient number of credits will join one of

    the civil engineering research groups at Katsura Campus, Yoshida Campus or Uji Campus, and will

    begin the research project for their bachelors thesis. The thesis must be submitted and presented in

    February of the final academic year. Once the thesis is successfully completed, students will graduate

    in March.

    XI Admission Policy

    Philosophy and Objectives

    The Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering emphasizes the building of a solid foundation for

    learning, under the tradition of a liberal academic environment. A liberal academic environment is

    one in which students are encouraged to view the world free of preconceptions by garnering a

    scientific eye. This entails the development of a critical attitude toward academia, and serves as a

    solid foundation for learning. It is widely thought that the focus of an engineering faculty is largely

    on applied technologies. However, Kyoto Universitys unique approach differs from this general

    perception and is somewhat unique. In short, the Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering adheres to

    its principle academic approach, which is based on a belief that a deep understanding of the basics

    will be essential for applying technologies to a wide variety of situations in the future.

    During the first and second years after enrolling as undergraduate in the Kyoto University Faculty of

    Engineering, students take general education courses common to all science course students. They

    are also required to take liberal arts, as well as English and/or other foreign languages. At the same

    time, department/program specialization begins from the first year, gradually increasing in weight. In

    the fourth year, students begin a special research project on a specific theme, and are assigned to

    their chosen laboratory where they are able to conduct their studies in a cutting-edge environment

    together with graduate students and supervising academics. Students who continue on to graduateschool receive a more advanced level of specialized education and research guidance.

    Through this approach to education, the Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering has consistently

    turned out gradates who are capable of applying their expertise to a broad range of activities,

    independently and creatively tackling entirely new challenges, and who possess a deep knowledge

    base and strict sense of integrity.

    Student Profile

    The following persons are encouraged to enroll in our program:

    1) Individuals who possess a thorough command of the knowledge gained from their secondary

    school education, and who have the competence to undertake a post-secondary education in

    fundamental scientific principles in the Faculty of Engineering.

    2) Individuals who are free of preconceptions, who strive to verify and understand the

    mechanisms behind matters firsthand.

    3) Individuals who have the enthusiasm and vitality to creatively explore new fields of

    technology.
