Science of Technology Innovation

The human resources that Nagaoka University of Technology’s 5-year Integrated Doctoral Program aims to develop are leading engineers and researchers who possess in-depth and abundant knowledge in specialized fields, creativity to pioneer unexplored areas, and practical skills to independently implement their own research projects and guide innovation. To achieve this aim, we have set the following four attributes as targets for students to attain by taking various subjects and engaging in research activities.

  1. Research implementation abilities
    Advanced research implementation abilities to independently set one’s own research topics and systematically carry out research that can produce beneficial outcomes, as well as in-depth and abundant knowledge in specialized fields that serve as the foundation for research.
  2. Ability to pioneer unexplored areas
    Willingness and ability to take on the challenges of pioneering unexplored areas based on the integration of scientific principles from multiple specialized fields.
  3. Social implementation of research findings
    Willingness and practical ability to link research findings to social implementation from a technology management viewpoint while gaining deep insight into the impact on society.
  4. Global innovation leader
    Leadership skills that can guide innovation through research and development while collaborating with diverse entities based on insightful international perspectives and advanced conversational skills.

A doctoral degree will be conferred on students who have earned the number of credits needed for completion through subjects that facilitate the acquisition of the above targets, and have passed the doctoral dissertation screening based on the criteria stipulated by the department.
