Yamagata University Faculty of Engineering celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2010 since the establishment of Yonezawa Higher Technical School (left photo), the predecessor of the Faculty, in 1910. The University’s Graduate School of Engineering (Master’s Program), established in 1964, has a history of more than 40 years now. In 1999, the Graduate School of Engineering was reorganized into the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, and now nine research courses are provided under the Master’s Program. In 1993, the Doctoral Program was opened, which now comprises a total of five courses.Students in the Master’s Program attend advanced lectures from their first year and engage in research on themes that are more specialized and advanced than the themes in their graduation theses. The students make the research plans themselves, conduct experiments and analyses, and present their results to relevant academic societies, both within and outside Japan. The presented results are then summarized into research papers, which are submitted to academic journals. If the papers are judged to be of particular value through peer reviews, they are published in journals as academic papers. The students may sometimes tutor undergraduates in experiments or give advice to undergraduates who are conducting research for their graduation studies. Graduate students who have completed the Master’s Program usually enter blue-chip companies across Japan as work-ready engineers of high capability. Their employment rate is almost 100%.Students in the Doctoral Program conduct even more specialized research. In addition to those who have completed the Master’s Program and are continuing their research into the Doctoral Program, those who are working in society and wish to obtain a doctor’s degree for their jobs also study in the program to receive instructions from world authorities in respective fields. Several of these workers are graduates from universities other than Yamagata University. In line with globalization, academic field are also becoming more interdisciplinary, and in the Doctoral Program, world-leading education and research opportunities are provided from advanced interdisciplinary views that go beyond traditional frameworks.

In addition to the student’s research in their field of specialty, the Management of Technology for Manufacturing (MOT) Major, Tohoku MITRAI Course systematically provides seminars, special education, management of technology education, and Japanese society education to develop human resources that can be actively involved in global business activity and business expansion. For students who wish to work in a Japanese company after graduation, the provides excellent career guidance based on previous experience and results and carefully supports international students in all aspects of their career planning and placement. Students who complete this course will receive a Master’s in Engineering.

Organic Materials EngineeringThis major provides students with following divergent research fields of material engineering: ・Productions of electronic devices using organic materials・Molecular design and synthesis for functional materials・Development of nano-materials for environmental and energy fields・Development of chemical systems for industrial production and productive technology of functional materials

Bioengineering This course will focus on analyzing and understanding the fascinating biological system at cellular and genetic level. The knowledge of the biological system combined with electronic devices (such as artificial intelligence, robots, and bio-instrumentation) could be eventually applied to medicine, creation of materials, and production of environment friendly biomass.

Electrical Engineering and InformaticsThis course aims at raising the highly sensitive researchers of technology in addition to the most progressive study in various fields like electronics, information and life science.

It is one year and a half since I entered into Management of Technology Course, Graduate School, Yamagata University. To look back one year and a half, I have learned much and the days are significant. When I stepped my feet in this country, I hardly could speak Japanese, but now I’m fortunate to pass the first degree of Japanese Language Proficiency Test and most of the things Japanese becomes familiar to me through the experiences about Japanese culture. Several home stays here enables me to appreciate Japanese life more. The fluency of the language helps me open another cultural door. In my home university, my major was “Industrial Process” so that I can study both technical production and technological manage-ment. I’m much obliged to deeper study of both fields. I come to understand the way of thinking through studying of productive innovation, global management and business. For deeper understanding, I’m getting the chance to visit local companies and to practice internships. These chances also give me how to promote the enterprises in my own country.

The seasonal changes are what I like most in Yamagata. It gets cold in the winter time and snows quite a lot. In the spring time, the cherry trees look just like a painting. In the autumn, the rice field take on a golden glow. Sweet grapes, pears, apples, and other fruits ripen, and the fall foliage is a colorful sight.That tranquility followed me into lab and accompanied with me in all difficulties and busy researches. My course officially began from autumn 2005 in Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering at Yamagata University, after one year for making acquainted with Japanese and a new lifetime. The experimental time occupied all my mind except worrying of learning Japanese. Plenty of encouragements from my professors and my lab mates made me a warm feeling and helped me overcome failures in researches. Spending on failing jobs, my researches obtained so good results that I sensed as a “Eureka” feeling. How happy it was! The PhD course went through academic research, discussion group and independent thinking trained me an invaluable methodological thought, which, I am thinking, is useful for me whenever and wherever.Conferences, special international conferences, gave me new viewpoints about relationships and close interactions between academic science and industries so much. All over above, the skill for communications and frequent exchanging knowledge between researchers are very important thing for a promising co-operation in the future.

Organic EL ResearchThe “EL” of organic EL stands for “electroluminescence”, which means to make fluorescent organic thin films emit light by applying voltage to them. An organic EL element is a flat light emitting element developed through the use of this phenomenon. Organic EL elements emit light, and organic EL displays provide clear images, like TV images and are flat-like liquid crystal displays. Also, if plastic films are used as substrate materials, organic EL, displays can be folded or bent. They can be used for light-emitting signs, organic fluorescent lamps, and super flat TVs. Their use in such TVs is now eagerly anticipated. In the future, organic EL element displays will be used in 100-inch or larger displays to be released in the market. They have a simple structure and are expected to be easily manufactured at relatively low costs.R&D on organic EL is conducted abroad as well as in Japan, but Japan boasts the top technological level in this field among various countries. In particular, Yamagata University is playing a central role in the research into organic EL in Japan. We must constantly develop innovative ideas to continue to be at the forefront in this field. In order to develop engineers who will lead Japan’s, an indeed the world’s industry, and who can contribute to society, the University’s graduate School of Science and Engineering is inviting those who are interested natural science and engineering technologies, those who do everything with a deep curiosity, and those who can make decisions and take action while adopting a wide view and in consideration of society, to apply for the Graduate School. Please make your dream come true ad present your abilities on a global scale by studying here at the Graduate School. Professor Junji KIDO
