Department Overview

Gain a wide perspective and advanced expertise in the field of energy

The curriculum comprises three fields integrating the four disciplines of chemistry, electric and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, and life sciences.
1. In the Next-Generation Infrastructure Energy field, students learn about sustainable energy such as solar (nuclear fusion, photovoltaic, thermal) and terrestrial (wind, geothermal, nuclear fission), and highly efficient energy conversion and energy storage technologies.
2. In the Life Device Energy field, students learn how living organisms convert and use energy, and about utilising small amounts of energy (micro energy harvesting) for supplying power to medical sensors and devices.
3. In the Material Creation field, students learn about the highly functional materials that support fields 1 and 2.

Become tomorrow’s energy professionals through interdisciplinary study and research

After learning all the fundamentals of the three fields, students delve into the specialised fields of each of these and thus acquire a wide perspective and advanced expertise in energy. Instructors in chemistry, electric and electronic engineering, nuclear energy engineering, mechanical engineering, and life sciences work closely together in education and research to foster students who will become the energy field professionals of tomorrow. Students also obtain skills in the simulation, informatics, and precision synthesis technologies that are indispensable for future manufacturing.
