- In the Department of Mechanical Engineering and System Control, by studying a broad range of subjects, and based on a firm foundation of science, particularly mathematics and physics, our students develop knowledge of the technology and methodology involved in systems engineering and mechanical engineering. They become able to design or further develop mechanical systems for automobiles, aerospace vehicles or robots etc., creating mathematical models that explain the performance of a system or select, design, implement or evaluate appropriate control systems.
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 content-
language 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 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
