Putting engineering technology and medicine together, Human Oriented Engineering aims friendly engineering technology which will works out problems between peoples and tools, environment and the society. This course teaches comprehensive knowledge and skills to improve individuals and the society.

A new graduate course Human Oriented Engineering has been created in 2009.  In terms of Human Oriented Engineering, we mean an interdisciplinary field utilizing engineering friendly to individuals and the human society.   Engineering technology combining mechanical, electrical and civil engineering will be taught in combination with medicine.  By using the above mentioned technology, students will learn diagnosis without burden to humans, testing technology, tools and robots blending into our life, operability without thinking and security systems in case of problems.   For knowing humans, “lectures collaborated with Faculty of Medicine” is prepared.  To think what should be improved, “omnibus input of hot topics” is ready now.  To give back our technology to the society in addition to job experience in the community, a unique education system, “internship” is prepared for students.   It is needless to say that “technical education” as well as “multiple student advocate (instructor) systems” is conducted.

 By the time of graduation, students will come to be able to design, develop and evaluate new products that can meet various characteristics and demands in the society in multiple points of view. So, graduates will be the very persons industries need. They also have a chance to go PhD programs in Department of Education, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Medicine and Engineering to learn further advanced technical knowledge.

There are four compulsory subjects in Human Oriented Engineering, i.e., Research work, Seminar, Advanced Course in Human Oriented Engineering and internship. Research work in Human Oriented Engineering includes every work to prepare the master thesis and is conducted under the guidance of instructors.

Seminar in Human Oriented Engineering Exercise will provide the opportunity to learn skills of communication between researchers and collaboration, domestic and foreign literature review, and data and so on in various research projects. In their internship, students can experience procedures of applying the knowledge to the real world. In Advanced Course in Human Oriented Engineering I, through the collaboration with Faculty of Medicine, students will understand humans in omnibus style; in II, the most advanced engineering technology will be overviewed in omnibus style.
