- The Department of Mechatronics (renamed from The Department of Systems Design and Engineering in 2014) provides students with a comprehensive grounding in control systems and telecommunication networks. Courses are designed to allow students to acquire both the basic knowledge of control systems and telecommunication networks and the skills to design real systems in the industrial world.
The Faculty of Global Liberal Studies
With its motto of “Be a Visionary!”, the Faculty of Global Liberal Studies (GLS) provides a great educational opportunity for those wanting to engage in their community, country, and the world, based on two main academic pillars: global studies and sustainability studies. The faculty aims to foster “students with perspectives” as 21st-century global citizens who can solve the problems arising in the world, display comprehensive and critical thinking ability, be equipped with effective communication skills in English as the International Language, and possess cross-cultural understanding ability that allows them to elucidate global issues crossing the national borders. The GLS curriculum is based on the contentlanguage integrated learning framework, in which
some academic content courses are instructed totally or partially in English. To provide a solid linguistic foundation, the first five quarters will feature an intensive English program. Classes are small-sized and employ an active discussion style so that students learn to explore and discuss actively in English. Students will also obtain sufficient support from the Learning Commons and Writing Center staff. This emphasis on English education as well as on Japanese and a foreign language as a third language makes the GLS language curriculum a trilingual program. In addition, there is a compulsory study-abroad component in the second year. The Sustainability Program at ASU (Arizona State University) is an outstanding learning experience for all students to study in a global academic context. Laying its disciplinary foundation in the humanities, the seminars and thesis courses will cover a wide range of areas, such as cultural studies, anthropology, religious studies, linguistics, education, and environmental ethics amongst others. Learning is well-supported through an individual advisory system and by the use of e-portfolios. The faculty of GLS is a reassuring place that offers profound knowledge and practical solutions, and that leads students to adopt more global perspectives and to become visionaries.
The Center for Japanese Studies
Encountering Japan and its People
Intensive instruction and training in Japanese was the initial purpose of the Center for Japanese Studies (CJS) at the time of its establishment in 1974. Since then, however, a focus on an integrated and intensive learning experience in Japanese language and culture for international students has developed. In an age in which Japan has drawn much world attention and has become an object of fascination, CJS hopes to help each student develop a better understanding of Japan, its people and language as well as a greater appreciation of the need for communication
