Graduate The Education / Curriculum Policy at the Graduate School of FIT

Nowadays, science and technology have achieved breakthroughs with extremely highly-developed information technology, and it is not possible to acquire knowledge and skills sufficiently to accommodate the technology through only an undergraduate degree in engineering. This is why studying at the Graduate School of Engineering is very significant. Our undergraduate education is the basic educational term leading to further learning in graduate school. That is, practicing through an integrated education program of undergraduate and graduate studies is our educational philosophy. In addition, the previous graduate curriculum tended to be organized into a collection of highly specialized subjects. In the new curriculum, while considering the continuity of undergraduate and postgraduate education, our graduate education further consolidates the basis of academic skills and English skills to lead students to graduate with the skills suitable for the modern engineer. The graduate school curriculum provides education to improve communication skills, the ethics of engineers, and leadership. The doctoral program primarily offers a curriculum of research to acquire the techniques and technology for leading and advanced research and the practical process of performing research. The graduate school of engineering education program trains students to respond to the following matters and also to deepen their research. In the master’s course students carry out research activities for preparing their master’s thesis with a focus on the laboratory. By working on their research as such, students use problem-solving skills for research and development. The doctoral program will conduct research for them to master at the epicenter of research fields for highly specialized theories and applications. The policy of the research supervision is to lead students toward their goal of having a degree in engineering within the course term.
