Organization and Characteristics of the Graduate School of Engineering
Student's research and life are well supported by the
University, so that students can devote themselves to
study. For examples, students in the master's course can
acquire research expenditures for their individual research,
and those in the doctoral course are all engaged as a
research assistant.
The detail of the courses and fields is shown below.
This course of study concentrates on education and research in the following major areas of mechanical engineering : Material processing, materials strength, utilization of energy, fluid flow systems, energy conversion, machine dynamics, control, design, manufacturing engineering, and the
development of machine systems with high reliability and excellent performance.
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and electronics engineering forms the fundamentals of the present highly-industrialized society, and it develops as the center technology
that pulls the highly-networked information society from both sides of hardware and software. The Department supports the following major educational/research fields;（1）innovative electronic/optical materials and devices,（2）efficient power generation devices, powerelectronics, power
transmission and distribution networks, and（3）system science, knowledge base systems and telecommunication systems. Talented students
who can adequately respond the highly-sophisticated and complicated social needs are growing up in the Department.
Information Science
This graduate course will develop sophisticated human resources educated with advanced systematic knowledge of information, communication
and media technologies under the united staff's coordination, who will be capable of exploring, proposing and positively settling problems, or
capable of leading research and academic activities, in the future global competitive society.
Master's Program
The purpose of the Graduate School of Engineering,
University of Fukui, is to educate engineers possessing
high research and development capabilities. The graduate
School of Engineering consists of ten master's courses
（enrollment limit : 239）and four doctoral courses（enrollment limit : 40）, which cover almost all engineering fields.
The specialized education of the graduate school of
Engineering is supported by a teaching staff of about 180
instructors who are working on leading-edge research of
engineering. Together with educational programs to
enhance individual abilities, our education is highly evaluated by MEXT（Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology）to be in the top class in national
universities in Japan.
Outline of Master's Program
The ideal living environment in the 21st century is explored by taking architecture, city or region, and whole national land into account, using the
approaches of natural and human sciences, technology, and fine arts. Structural Engineering undertakes the research to enhance the methods of
structural design and performance evaluation as well as the understanding of the behavior of structure and components such as reinforced concrete construction, steel construction and space frames. The Urban and Architectural Design's education and study are carried out on psychological and physiological comfort, physical phenomena related to sound, light, heat, and air, and behaviors of people in living environment as well as
on history of architecture, design theory, and lifestyle of people as a whole.
Materials Science and Engineering
Our department is committed to educating students to become independent professional engineers and researchers who conduct innovative
research and develop high quality functional materials, thus contributing to an environmentally sound and sustainable society. Through formal
course work and mentoring, each student is expected to acquire comprehensive and systematic knowledge of the synthesis, structure, properties
and production processes of inorganic, organic and polymeric materials. At the same time, students are encouraged to participate in cutting edge
materials science research in the department. Our aim is to educate and nurture students to be qualified scientists and engineers whose scientific
knowledge, competitive spirit and high ethical standards enable them to become leaders in their field.
“Chemistry” is a discipline that seeks to reveal the nature of substances and the changes that occur within such substances on the molecular level.
“Biotechnology” is not merely concerned with the revelation of biological phenomena but makes it possible to utilize and modify such phenomena.
The philosophy of the Department of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology is to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the education and the
research based on the fundamentals of both “chemistry” and “biotechnology”. It is also to endeavor to create new technology that will form an
industrial foundation that will enable us to foster a wholesome natural perspective and philosophy and to develop a healthy sustainable society.
Applied Physics
Almost all modern scientific technologies, such as computers, cellular phones, CDs, DVDs, high-tech medical technologies and space development
technologies, are based on physics. There can further be no doubt, that the future development of physics will also produce new epoch-making
technologies.
Our Department of Applied Physics has many excellent members, who contribute to the present and future progress of technology, by working on a
wide range of research topics, such as elementary particle physics, cosmology, nuclear physics, mathematical science, physics of magnetism, optical properties of solids, quantum optics, molecular science, plasma physics and far-infrared technology.
Human and Artificial Intelligent Systems
The Department of Human and Artificial Intelligent Systems is a powerful group of investigators, called Imageneers, studying how natural systems
work and how intelligent, human-friendly, real-world systems can be realized by learning from the nature. The aim of the Graduate Course is to send
out a new breed of engineers, Imagineers, who have sufficient skills on computers and mechatronics to develop software and/or hardware systems
with artificial intelligence and have good understanding on the humanity, and thus to contribute to the regional, social and industrial developments.

The Fiber Amenity Course was established as the first independent study course for graduate students in the University of Fukui in 2002. The aims of
this course are to expand a conventional fiber industry, which has been the key industry in Fukui, to an innovative fiber industry in non-clothing material areas and pursue “amenity-comprehensive comfort for people, things, and environment”. Towards this end, we address multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, international activities in education and research with many international students and graduate students from various industrial fields.
Nuclear Power and Energy Safety Engineering Course in graduate school has been started accepting Master's degree candidate students in April
2004, and Doctor's degree candidates in April 2006. This course aims at carrying out practical and academic researches relevant to energy and
nuclear power under the unified key words “safety and symbiosis.” In our courses, considering the fact that our university is located in Fukui prefecture with 15 commercial nuclear power plants, practical topics such as safety and security of nuclear power plants, symbiotic society, stable
electric power network and technology transfer from the nuclear industry to local industries, and others are considered for education and research.

Outline of FIR FU
"Far-infrared," on which FIR FU is developing its research activities, is the
wavelength region with wavelengths longer than those in the infrared region
among electromagnetic (EM) waves with very wide wavelength regions. This
region locates between radiofrequency (RF) waves and light and also corresponds to submillimeter waves, the wavelength of which is shorter than 1 mm.
This region is also called as the terahertz region according to their frequencies. Terahertz waves are EM waves with frequencies higher than gigahertz
waves that are used in communication such as cellular phones. EM waves in
the region of far-infrared / terahertz waves have features both straight going
as light and penetrating as RF waves. This wavelength region is a treasure
house of technologies needed in the 21st century.
This wavelength region has been called as an unexplored region for a long
time owing to lack of powerful sources. Oppositely, this means that this wavelength region will make a rapid progress from now on. FIR FU is carrying out
novel research and development of new technologies applying with world
class "Gyrotrons," which have been originally developed in FIR FU. Moreover,
we have just started research on terahertz science with combination of a novel
method of terahertz wave generation and a new spectroscopic technique.
Now, FIR FU is a leading base of the research of the far-infrared / terahertz
waves in Japan.
FIR FU has world wide research activities under collaboration with domestic
and overseas institutions. This center is supposed to perform its part as a
world class base of the research of the far-infrared / terahertz waves.

For establishment of a research base
FIR FU aims for a world-class base on development of high power terahertz
technologies. For this purpose, FIR FU has strengthened a global network
under an international consortium "Promotion of Research on Development
and Application of Submillimeter Wave Gyrotrons" and coordinates with
domestic organizations. Moreover, FIR FU drives forward collaborative
researches in the far-infrared / terahertz wave region by supplying high performance gyrotrons developed in FIR FU.
For international collaborations, we have concluded agreements for academic
exchange or memorandums for collaboration with following institutions in the

In April 2009, the University of Fukui Information
Processing Center was reorganized for its new mission.
While continuing to fulfill its existing role as a common
information facility for use on campus, the Center will
pursue a greater range of duties as the University of
Fukui's basic rules for managing information systems
(hereafter referred to as "the Information Security Policy")
begin to take effect. As the main point through which
the University implements its electronic information policy, the Center will also handle management and operation duties of greater range and responsibility than
before.
The newly established University of Fukui Center for
Information Initiative has the following aims:
（1）To help advance and optimize information processing in the University, and to render it more efficient,
the Center will provide and maintain an information
processing system service, which will support the
work of the University in education, research, medical care, scholarly and scientific information services, and other fields.
（2）The Center will contribute to greater efficiency in,
and optimization of, research, education, and other
activities of the University by developing the
University's information network infrastructure and
by working to plan and implement an information
infrastructure that supports stable and uninterrupted
service.
（3）The Center will manage and implement the
Information Security Policy. While continuing to provide users of the University's information systems
with a safe and secure service, it will also work to
guarantee the information security of the University,
which as an institution of higher learning has to
maintain a relation of trust with citizens, companies,
educational institutions, and other partners.

The Research Center for Development of Far-Infrared Region, University of
Fukui（FIR FU）is carrying out research and development of the far-infrared
region locating between radiofrequency waves and light with world class
"Gyrotrons," which have been originally developed in FIR FU.
FIR FU attracts a great deal of attention for global evolution of R & D in the farinfrared region based on agreements for academic exchanges and memorandums for collaborations with many domestic and overseas institutions.
FIR FU has achieved a breakthrough of 1 terahertz in gyrotron oscillation in the
fiscal year 2006 for the first time in the world. Recently, experts of a novel
method of terahertz-wave generation and terahertz spectroscopy have joined
FIR FU. See the web page below for details of researches and achievements
of FIR FU.

Center for Information Initiative
To fulfill these objectives, the University of Fukui Center
for Information Initiative is organized into three new
departments: Information Services Promotion,
Information Network Operation, and Information Security
Management. Also established are a special committee
for administering the Center and a sub-committee for
each department, which will work to ensure that the
Center runs smoothly.
